1. There has been a 50% increase in relief fund of farmer in case of a calamity or bad cropping.
2. Since, our nation is largely dependent upon monsoon rains, to overcome the uncertainity heavy investments have been made into irrigation projects such as Pradhan Mantri Sichai Yojana.
3. A soil card is rolled out soon by the government so as to educate and facilitate farmers across India to maintain and improve health of their soil.
4. Krishi TV is piped to be a success making it nation's 1st dedicated service to farmers which includes consultation, help in financing during cropping etc.
5. The Krishi Vikas Yojana covers most of the farmers with lucrative lending facilities. Recently RBI also issued a notification paper ordering even the Foreign Banks to meet their priority sector lending quote (financial support to farming).
6. The Minimum Support Price (MSP) has been a huge boost to support our farmer's revenues for their crops. The MSP programme was a vital reason for India not backing WTO on Food Pricing issue.
7. The Parliament has recently amended the APMC Act in order to provide free markets to farmers in order to sell their produced crops. This step removes the mandi hoarding quota and completely eliminates the middle man. Essentially, the farmer has direct contact with his customers and demands better prices.
