Union Cabinet Approves Progressive Expansion of Central Sector Scheme under Agriculture Infrastructure Fund.

Goverment Scheme

The Union Cabinet has approved the progressive expansion of the Central Sector Scheme under the Agriculture Infrastructure Fund (AIF). This move aims to strengthen the agricultural sector by providing financial support for the creation of post-harvest management infrastructure and community farming assets. The expansion will facilitate increased credit flow and investment in agriculture, benefiting farmers, agripreneurs, and agricultural cooperatives. The scheme, which initially targeted infrastructure development, will now include additional components to ensure comprehensive agricultural growth and sustainability. This decision is expected to boost rural economies and enhance the overall agricultural productivity of the country.


      The scheme expansion focuses on modernizing agricultural infrastructure to reduce post-harvest losses and increase farmer income.

      Increased private sector participation will be encouraged under the expanded scheme for sustainable agricultural growth.
