The scheme started with an average annual allocation of Rs. 134 crore during last five years has so far covered 74,880 ha area.
To double the impact the allocation has now increased to Rs. 200 crore per year with a target to cover additional 1.00 lakh ha area under 200 new FPOs over a period of 3 year period.
