Reacting to the Cabinet’s decision, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath expressed strong support, calling it a “historic initiative to empower Indian rural life.”

CM Yogi added that the scheme would facilitate growth in productivity, encourage crop diversification, and ease access to both short- and long-term agricultural credit. He concluded with a hopeful message:

“May every field flourish with greenery, and every farmer’s life be filled with prosperity.”

Key Features of the Scheme

  • Beneficiaries: Estimated 1.7 crore farmers
