The Union Cabinet approved the PM Dhan-Dhaanya Krishi Yojana (PM-DDKY) targeting 100 agricultural districts from 2025–31.
The scheme has an annual budget of ₹24,000 crore for 6 years, aiming to boost productivity, irrigation, storage, and credit in low-performing regions.
It follows the Aspirational Districts Programme model and integrates 36 schemes across 11 ministries through state, district, and private partnerships.
District-specific agriculture & allied plans will be made under the DDKY Samiti, headed by the District Collector.
Progress will be tracked using 117 performance indicators via a central dashboard, with NITI Aayog offering strategic guidance.
