Three Districts Recognized for Agricultural Transformation Under PM-DDKY
What happened
Three districts—Gaya in Bihar, Nagaur in Rajasthan, and Umaria in Madhya Pradesh—were recognized as best performers in the first year of the Prime Minister Dhan-Dhaanya Krishi Yojana (PM-DDKY). The scheme targets districts with low crop productivity, low cropping intensity, and low agricultural credit disbursement. Additionally, 18 other districts were recognized for exemplary work across six key objectives, including irrigation infrastructure and crop diversification.
