Haryana Government forms State Samiti for Prime Minister Dhan-Dhaanya Krishi Yojana with Chief Secretary as its Chairperson

Chandigarh, January 1 — The Haryana Government has notified the formation of the State Samiti for the implementation of the Prime Minister Dhan-Dhaanya Krishi Yojana (PMDDKY).

The State Samiti is chaired by Chief Secretary Sh. Anurag Rastogi. The Administrative Secretary of the Agriculture & Farmers’ Welfare Department serves as the Member Secretary, supported by Administrative Secretaries from various key departments, including Fisheries, Irrigation, Cooperation, Animal Husbandry & Dairying, Industries, Development and Panchayat, and Rural Development as Members. The committee members also include Vice-Chancellors from all State Agriculture, Horticulture, Veterinary, and Fisheries Universities in Haryana, as well as representatives from NABARD and the State Level Banker’s Committee (SLBC).

 

The primary responsibility of the State DDKY Samiti is to ensure adequate fund flow to all schemes being converged in project mode within selected districts. The Samiti is mandated to oversee the timely release of funds and facilitate seamless convergence among all participating departments. While district-level plans will address inputs and production, the State Samiti will specifically focus on supporting the marketing, branding, and value addition of agricultural products from these regions.

 

Furthermore, the State Level Committee will conduct regular reviews of scheme implementation. This oversight includes ensuring that field-level positions are filled, funds are distributed promptly, and all relevant agencies provide adequate support to district operations. The Samiti is also tasked with ensuring that all departmental annual plans are properly integrated into the annual plans of each respective scheme before the start of the financial year.
