This sector fulfills the growing demand for food, fodder, and raw materials for the industry. The stable and continuous growth of the agriculture sector is important to ensure food security and robust growth of the country.<br />”<br />”Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchayee Yojana was launched in the year 2015-16 to expand the cultivable area under assured irrigation, improve on-farm water use efficiency, and promote sustainable water conservation practices.
