Explanation
The Prime Minister Dhan-Dhaanya Krishi Yojana (PMDDKY), approved by the Union Cabinet in July 2025, is a landmark initiative designed to transform India's agricultural landscape through a convergence-based model.
- Statement 1 is incorrect: The scheme specifically targets 100 low-performing (underperforming) agri-districts, not high-performing ones. These districts are identified based on criteria such as low crop productivity, moderate cropping intensity, and poor access to institutional credit, following the model of the Aspirational Districts Programme.
- Statement 2 is correct: Its core objectives include enhancing agricultural productivity, promoting crop diversification (especially towards pulses and oilseeds), strengthening irrigation and post-harvest storage infrastructure, and ensuring better access to institutional credit.
- Statement 3 is correct: PMDDKY focuses exclusively on agriculture and allied activities (including dairy, fisheries, and poultry). It achieves this by ensuring saturation-level convergence of 36 existing central schemes from 11 ministries, with an annual outlay of ₹24,000 crore.
