Description

Based on feedback received from states, experiences garnered, and inputs provided by various stakeholders, schemes eligible for funding under RKVY have undergone modifications to enhance efficiency, efficacy and inclusiveness of the program. During 12th plan period Government of India has revised the guideline of the scheme and issued new guideline in the year 2014. The states are required to submit the State Agriculture Plan and State Agriculture Infrastructure Development Plan for 12th plan period. Simultaneously as per the recommendation of 14th Finance Commission, Government of India has also changed the name of RKVY to RKVY-RAFTAAR (Rashtriya Krishi Vikas Yojna- Remunerative Approaches for Agriculture and Allied Sector Rejuvenation) and issued a new guideline in the year 2017 effective from the financial year 2017-18 to 2019-20.

TRUAGRICO has prepared SAIDP for the state of Tripura by involving various stakeholders of agriculture and allied sectors. Unlike other planning process, the SAIDP exercise is a participatory bottom up planning. The information of the status, issues confronting and the proposals for planning are carried out primarily at the state level with certain district specific interventions. Subsequently, the district proposals are added to the state level proposals. In this process all the line departments concerning the agricultural development were taken into reckoning. At every stage all the stakeholders such as farmers, those who deal with the inputs and outputs of agriculture, related agencies, institutions etc. were consulted in identifying not only the problems, adequacy or otherwise of the present status and also in coming out with the new proposals for the plan period.
