Today, there is no dearth of policies and programmes for the socio-economic upliftment of the farming community. The efforts of the government has already started paying dividend. Government's flagship programme of doubling farmer income by 2022 was also a step in the direction of farmers' welfare. The seven point strategy of the government to double income of farmers' was backed up with many new schemes and farmer friendly provisions. These included provision of assured quality seeds and planting materials, promoting diversification through ancillary activities, expansion of irrigation facilities, value addition and processing, warehousing and cold chains to prevent post harvest losses, adequate marketing infrastructure and facilities and crop insurance.
