Taking about the Paramparagat Krishi Vikas Yojana (PKVY), PM said farmers are being given resources, facilities and support through PKVY and Indian Agricultural Systems programmes.

Under this scheme, 30,000 clusters have been created in the country and lakhs of farmers are getting the benefit of this, he added.
