The Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs (CCEA) chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi approved the 300-crore rupees package to save standing kharif agriculture and horticulture crops from weak monsoon.
The package is intended to help farmers to be better equipped to deal with the challenges posed by delayed and aberrant monsoon.
With the help of this package the state governments will be able to initiate immediate remedial measures to save standing agricultural crops and perennial orchards in rainfall deficient districts.
