Rashtriya Krishi Vikas Yojana (RKVY)

Rashtriya Krishi Vikas Yojana (RKVY) was launched in 2007 for the holistic development of agriculture and allied sectors. Under this scheme, states are incentivised to increase public investment, develop infrastructure, and promote additional income-generating activities. In 2017, the scheme was revamped and renamed as Rashtriya Krishi Vikas Yojana - Remunerative Approaches for Agriculture and Allied Sector Rejuvenation (RKVY-RAFTAAR). RKVY began as an additional central assistance to states, but was subsequently converted to a Centrally Sponsored Scheme.
