Admitting that doubling of farm income by 2022 is not possible with the current rate of growth in the agriculture sector, the government has said that it is trying to promote allied sectors to achieve doubling farm income.
Minister of State for Agriculture Purshottam Rupala said the raising of farm income is not possible with growth in only one sector, but the government is making efforts to promote allied sectors of agriculture and that will aid in helping double the farm income.
Rupala further underlined the efforts being taken to increase the clusters under organic farming and giving them various incentives. The minister also said the government had so far spent Rs 720 crore through 61 projects for promoting organic farming in the country.
