- The Union government has come up with a new platform to disburse subsidies to horticulture farmers under the Cluster Development Programme (CDP).
- The platform is known as CDP-SURAKSHA.
- SURAKSHA stands for “System for Unified Resource Allocation, Knowledge, and Secure Horticulture Assistance.”
- The platform will allow an instant disbursal of subsidies to farmers in their bank account by utilising the e-RUPI voucher from the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI).
- The CDP is a component of the central sector scheme of National Horticulture Board.
- So far, 55 horticulture clusters have been identified, out of which 12 have been selected for the pilot.
- Four more clusters — a floriculture cluster in West Bengal, coconut clusters in Kerala and Tamil Nadu, and white onion clusters in Gujarat — are also in the pipeline.
