The Ministry has also been implementing Central Sector Umbrella Scheme - Pradhan Mantri Kisan Sampada Yojana  (PMKSY) for overall growth  and  development  of  food  processing  sector,  which includes financial support to entrepreneurs for setting up of food processing / preservation units.

- (c). As per the Annual Survey of Industries, 2015-16 and 73 rd Round Survey of National Sample Survey Organisation (NSSO), there are about 25 lakh unregistered/ unincorporated food processing enterprises in the country including Rajasthan. The details of State-wise number of unregistered/unincorporated enterprises in the country are at Annexure .
