An action plan for implementation of the project shall be prepared by NABARD, National Dairy Development Board (NDDB) and National Fishery Development Board (NFDB).
The plan according to an official statement will be implemented by converging various schemes of the government in the spirit of ‘whole of government approach’.
The schemes that have been identified for the convergence are National Programme for Dairy Development and Dairy Processing and Infrastructure Fund under the department of animal husbandry and dairying, while from the department of fisheries, the Pradhan Mantri Matsya Sampada Yojana and Fisheries and Aquaculture Infrastructure Development Fund (FIDF) have been picked up.
“This would provide the farmers members of these co-ops all over the country with requisite and backward and forward linkages to market their produce, enhance their incomes, obtain credit facilities and other services at the village level itself,” the official statement said.
