Highlights of Rashtriya Krishi Vikas Yojana (RKVY-RAFAAR):

  • This is a scheme launched by the government in the year 2018-19.
  • It aimed at providing financial assistance and nurturing the incubated ecosystem.
  • It also tries to encourage more startups in the realm of agriculture and provide for a raise in the income of farmers either directly or indirectly.
  • 346 start-ups have been funded under the scheme with an amount of Rs 36.72 crore.
  • Universities have also been funded under the scheme, including Chaudhary Charan Singh University (Hisar), CSK Himachal Pradesh Krishi Vishwavidyalaya, (Palampur) and IIT BHU (Varanasi), among others.
