Keen to
woo farmers ahead of the crucial electoral battles this year and the 2019 Lok
Sabha elections, the BJP-led government on Wednesday approved an extension by
two more years of a scheme that aims to double farmers' income by 2022. The Total Investment & Insurance

The
Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs, chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi,
approved the continuation of the "Green Revolution - Krishonnati
Scheme" beyond the 12th Plan till 2019-20 with a central share of Rs
33,269.976 crore.
It aims
to bring under one umbrella 11 agricultural schemes, besides their effective
monitoring. The Total Investment &

There
has been widespread concern about unremunerative prices to farmers for farm
produce and inadequate access to loans and insurance.
Farmers
have agitated in different parts of the country, including Maharashtra, Madhya
Pradesh and Tamil Nadu, on the issues in the past.
The
Bharatiya Janata Party's performance in the rural areas of Gujarat compared
with urban centres in the Assembly polls last year was less than expected and
the party has been seeking to increase its rural outreach.
Apart
from Karnataka's May 12 elections, Assembly elections remain to be held in
Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh during the year.
The
scheme, launched last year, will get a central share of Rs 33,279 crore for
three fiscals -- 2017-18, 2018-19 and 2019-20.
"In
order to fulfil the promise of doubling farmers' income, our government has
taken the decision to club 11 schemes into one umbrella scheme. It is a
historic decision," Union Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad told the media
here.
These
schemes aim to develop the agriculture and allied sectors in a holistic and
scientific manner to increase the income of farmers by enhancing production,
productivity and better returns on produce, according to an official
release.
These
schemes are the Mission for Integrated Development of Horticulture, National
Food Security Mission, National Mission for Sustainable Agriculture,
Sub-Mission on Agricultural Mechanisation and Integrated Scheme on Agricultural
Marketing. The Total Investment &

The
other schemes are Sub mission on Agriculture Extension, Sub Mission on Seeds
and Planting Material, Sub Mission on Plant Protection and Plant Quarantine,
Integrated Scheme on Agriculture Census, Economics and Statistics, Integrated
Scheme on Agricultural Cooperation, and National e-Governance Plan.
The
schemes are aimed at creating and strengthening infrastructure for production,
reducing production cost, as well as marketing of agricultural and allied
products.The Total Investment &
