  • INTRODUCTION

    Rashtriya Krishi Vikas Yojana (RKVY) was launched under the Department of Agriculture & Co-operation (DAC), Ministry of Agriculture, Govt of India from 2007-08 with an aim to achieve 4% annual growth in the agriculture sector during the XIth Plan period.

India has been targeting a growth rate of more than 4% in Agriculture, during the IXth Five year plan (1996 to 2001-02), but the actual achievement has been much below the target. More than 50% of the workforce of the country depends upon agriculture for its livelihood. Slow growth in Agriculture and allied sectors can lead to acute stress in the economy because large nos of population dependent upon this sector facing problems of –

    • Fragmented lands.
    • Dependent on monsoons.

    • Lack of marketing facilities.
    • Insecured cultivation.
