This scheme was initiated  in  2007  which  provides  flexibility  and  autonomy  to  the  States  in  planning  and implementing State specific interventions across agriculture sectors as per their needs and priorities. The scheme has been rationalized from the financial year 2022-23 by merging the following schemes as its components.
- i. Per Drop More Crop
- ii. Sub-Mission on Agriculture Mechanization
- iii. Soil Health and Fertility
- iv. Paramparagat Krishi Vikas Yojna
- v. Rain Fed Area Development
- vi. Agro Forestry
- vii. Crop Diversification Programme
- Viii. RKVY- Detailed Project Report (DPR)
- (b) & (c): The  State-wise  number  of  farmers  benefited  under  some  of  the  programme components of RKVY reported by the States is given at annexure -I. In addition to this, a large number of farmers are also benefited from the custom hiring centres, farm machinery banks, high tech hubs etc. established under the scheme.
