● Government to promote the use of 'Kisan Drones' for crop assessment, digitisation of land records and spraying of insecticides.

● A fund with blended capital to be set up to finance startups and rural enterprises working in agri-space.

● Start-ups to support farmer-producer organisations (FPOs), make machinery available for farmers on a rental basis at the farm level.
