Government of India has not set any State specific target under this scheme. State has  reported  a  significant  overall  growth  in  production  and  productivity  in  agriculture  and allied sectors in 2019-20 in comparison to the year 2014-15.  This increase in production and productivity  is  due  to  several  factors  and      RKVY-RAFTAAR  is  one  of  the  schemes  that contributes in this regard.  A comparative data on quantitative difference in production and productivity of major crops in the State during 2014-15 & 2019-20 is given at annexure.
