of farmers by 2022.

banks and financial institutions; plant production measures for enhancing the income;
plant protection measures for increasing the income; post harvest technology and
management; mechanization & technology development; agribusiness measures for
doubling the income; innovations in agriculture; government plans, schemes, policies and
reforms in agricultural marketing.
