## THE MINISTER OF STATE FOR FOOD PROCESSING INDUSTRIES (SADHVI NIRANJAN JYOTI)

Under the scheme, Ministry provides financial assistance  in  the  form  of  grant-in-aid  @  35%  for  general  areas  and  @  50%  for  North  East  States, Himalayan States, ITDP areas and Islands for storage and transport infrastructure and @ 50% and 75% respectively for value addition and processing infrastructure subject to a maximum grant-in-aid of Rs. 10 crore for setting up integrated cold chain projects including irradiation facility without any break from the farm  gate  to  the  consumer.
