ମେନ୍ସ
GS-III (Agriculture; government schemes). Persistent regional disparity in farm productivity led to a district-targeted approach that converges existing schemes in 100 lagging districts. The implication is better last-mile delivery and outcome focus, but success depends on convergence across departments, credible district-level data and State cooperation; the way forward is outcome-based monitoring and an independent evaluation after the first year.
