However, Under the Scheme for Technology Upgradation/ Establishment/ Modernization of Food Processing Industries implemented during 11 th Plan which was subsumed in  the  Centrally  sponsored  Scheme(CSS)-National  Mission  on  Food  Processing  (NMFP)  with effect  from  01.04.2012  till  31.03.2015  and  subsequently  got  delinked  from  Government  of India's  assistance  w.e.f.01.04.2015  except  UTs,  the  financial  assistance  has  been  provided  for setting up, expansion and upgradation of food processing industries  in the country.

The  initiatives undertaken by the Government from time to time are aimed at further expansion and upgradation of food processing industries and increasing the existing processing levels of food items in the country.
