The impetus given to post-harvest activities in the Interim Budget is a welcome step. It is a positive move to encourage private-public partnerships and address the diverse ambit of post-harvest agricultural logistics, including storage, supply chain as well as primary and secondary storage. In addition to the one crore women already coming under the purview of Lakhpati Didis, the government now intends to incorporate 3 crore new Lakhpati Didis under the scheme, and we hope it transforms several lives in the Indian agri space across the rural parts of the country.
