100 Districts in Focus: Dhan-Dhaanya Krishi Yojana (DDKY) to Drive India’s Next Agriculture Boost

• PM Dhan-Dhaanya Krishi Yojana (PMDDKY) is a convergence-based, 6-year Central scheme targeting 100 low-productivity agri-districts, announced in Union Budget 2025-26.
• Annual outlay ₹24,000 crore; aims to benefit 1.7 crore farmers by raising productivity, crop diversification, post-harvest storage, irrigation, and credit access.
• Modelled conceptually on NITI Aayog's Aspirational Districts Programme (ADP) but for agriculture — examinable as flagship of Modi 3.0 agri-policy.
