Chief Minister Samagra Gramya Unnayan Yojana

DETAILS Objective The main objective of the mission is to double the farm income, in unison with the vision of Hon'ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi. CMSGUY: The Way Ahead At the current rate of growth, it will take about 80 years to double the farm income in Assam. Normal interventions by the Government in this regard would not be adequate to address the problem. Under CMSGUY there is a proposal to initiate massive investments in rural areas for complete rural empowerment in a period of five years in a focused and concerted manner to realize the dream of doubling the farm income.  This is sought to be achieved through a 'saturation model' by covering each revenue village through focused interventions in Direct economic activities, Logistic support including market linkages, and Community support.  Above focused interventions are aimed at in nine critical areas and related sub-missions are: Fishery Mission, Milk Mission, Organic Mission, Land Management and Conservation Mission, Sericulture, Khadi and Cottage Industry Mission, Road and Broadband connectivity, Semi-Processing, Processing and Market Linkages, "Youth-Yoga-Sports" Mission and e-Gram Mission by developing Village Knowledge Centres by strengthening traditional Namghar and other community institutions BENEFITS Benefits The Government of Assam has launched Samagra Gramya Unnayan Yojana.
