The Dirghavadhi Krishak Punji Sahakar Yojana is a recent initiative launched by the National Cooperative Development Corporation (NCDC) under the Ministry of Cooperation to strengthen long-term credit availability for cooperative institutions engaged in agriculture and allied sectors. The scheme aims to address a critical gap in rural financing—namely, the lack of access to long-term capital for infrastructure creation and diversification.
Unlike traditional short-term crop loans, this scheme focuses on capital formation by supporting investments in areas such as irrigation, storage, agro-processing, and allied activities like dairy and fisheries. It also encourages farmers to diversify into non-farm sectors, thereby enhancing income stability and generating rural employment.
