Prime Minister Narendra Modi had announced Rs 20 lakh crore under the Atmanirbhar Bharat Package to deal with the situation created by the Corona tragedy. A large part of this large package is going to be planted in the agriculture sector, which was later announced by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman. In this episode, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said that Operation Green will be further promoted.

Explain that earlier tomato, onions, and potatoes used to come under this scheme, but now all other fruits and vegetables will also be brought under it. Apart from this a provision of Rs 500 crore will also be made for this scheme which will benefit many farmers.

The food items that are destroyed will be saved from this scheme and farmers will not have to sell their crops at low prices under adverse conditions. Under this scheme, a 50% subsidy will be given on the transport of all fruits and vegetables and also 50% on storage.
