1. Introduction

RKVY-DPR component will be implemented in a project-based mode. States/UTs will have the flexibility with the option of proposing projects related to agriculture and allied sectors (excluding Animal Husbandry and Fisheries) for creation of infrastructure, production growth, innovative projects etc. States may also take up projects under the scheme in Public- Private Partnership for Agriculture Value Chain Development (PPPAVCD) mode that provide additional income to farmers. A revised framework for implementing projects under PPPVCD framework has been issued separately by DA & FW. A maximum of 30% of total outlay will be earmarked for Detailed Project Report (DPR) component including Administrative charges and Startup component.

DPR is a gap filling scheme wherein projects related to agriculture and other sectors for creation of infrastructure and innovative projects that do not fit into the template of existing schemes of DA&FW are to be proposed by the States.
For infrastructure and assets projects, 100% assistance will be provided if these are to be executed by public sector through PPPAVCD mode. In case of projects taken by Private sector under PPPAVCD, the assistance will be 50% & 25% for infrastructure projects and production-oriented projects respectively. States may refrain from undertaking activities/components as illustrated in Annexure-VI of PM-RKVY Guidelines under RKVY–DPR component
