The Union Cabinet of India, under Prime Minister Narendra Modi, has approved several significant schemes aimed at supporting farmers and improving the socio-economic conditions of tribal communities. A nutrient-based subsidy of ₹24,475 crore has been allocated for NPK fertilizers, including phosphatic and potassic fertilizers, for the Rabi season of 2024-25 to ensure affordable prices for farmers amid global supply chain disruptions. Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw announced the approval. Additionally, the Cabinet has sanctioned ₹35,000 crore for the continuation of the Pradhan Mantri Annadata Aay Sanrakshan Abhiyan (PM-AASHA), which aims to provide remunerative prices to farmers and control price volatility. Another major initiative, the Pradhan Mantri Janjatiya Unnat Gram Abhiyan, has been approved with a budget of ₹79,156 crore to uplift approximately 63,000 tribal-majority villages, benefiting over 5 crore tribal people.
