Jammu and Kashmir is poised for a grand agricultural transformation as Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha initiates a comprehensive vision to bring the state's agriculture economy to ₹1 trillion by 2030. Under the Viksit Krishi Sankalp Abhiyan, the scheme will strengthen farmers, create more rural employment opportunities, and modernize farm practices.

Strategic Vision for Growth

The government plans to make each farmer a key stakeholder of India's journey towards economic growth.

The plan integrates modern agriculture practices, funding, and infrastructural investment to increase production.

Maximum emphasis is laid on sustainable farming and food independence.

Empowering Farmers and Rural Communities

The government is committed to increasing jobs in rural regions through agriculture development.

Designated programs will prefer tribal farming communities, like Gujjars, Bakarwals, and Paharis.

Programs like the Holistic Agriculture Development Program (HADP) will be committed to providing financial and technical assistance.

Government Support and Policy Framework

It's the duty of officials and researchers to turn long-term implementation of reforms introduced under the campaign into a reality.

The government is making efforts to extend benefits under PM Fasal Bima Yojana to horticulture farmers.

Active participation by all districts reflects a collective commitment toward a self-reliant J&K.

The decision is a revolutionary step toward making Jammu and Kashmir a leading agriculture hub in India.
