FM Nirmala Sitharaman Highlights:\u00a0<\/strong>After announcing relief for some of the India\u2019s poorer section of the society including migrant workers, street vendors and small farmers, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman has announced measures for the agriculture and allied activities such as dairy, animal husbandry and fisheries as the government looks to strengthen agriculture sector. \u201cIndian farmers have always ensured that despite their smallholding, they will give high yields,\u201d she said. During lockdown, the government also took some steps to help India\u2019s dairy co-operatives and procured large amounts from milk farmers. Among major announcements of today, the government has said that it will improve India\u2019s farm infrastructure, and will take India\u2019s turmeric, chillies, makhana and kesar (saffron) across the seven seas. \u201cThe government will provide Rs 10,000 crore for food enterprises which are micro in size. This will be a cluster based approach, with which, local value added products can reach global markets,\u201d Finance Minister said. Further, the government has introduced TOP to TOTAL scheme\u00a0to repair broken supply chains. \u201cThis scheme will have 50% subsidy on transportation from surplus to deficient markets; 50% subsidy on storage, including cold storages,\u201d FM said.\u00a0Agriculture provides employment to nearly 60% of India\u2019s population and earlier in his nationwide address, PM Modi had said that Rs 20 lakh crore package will also focus on India\u2019s farmers who work during every circumstance. The FM\u2019s relief measures follow Prime Minister\u00a0Narendra Modi<\/a>\u2019s earlier announcement that the government is working on a Rs 20 lakh crore package to help various sections of the society tide over the coronavirus crisis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
