In the same episode, the Government of Himachal Pradesh signed an $80 million loan agreement with the World Bank to develop the state’s agriculture.

This amount will be spent mainly on improving water management practices and increasing agricultural productivity in various Gram Panchayats of Himachal Pradesh. According to a media report, this project will be executed in 10 districts of the state covering 428 Gram Panchayats. It will benefit around 400,000 smallholder farmers.

But the constant decrease in the rainfall and climate change is affecting the production of fruits grown in Himachal Pradesh, including its iconic apples. This step could also play a big role in contributing to the central government’s mission of doubling the farmers’ incomes.
