विस्तृत सारांश
Overview
The Van Dhan Vikas Yojana (VDVY), implemented by the Tribal Cooperative Marketing Development Federation of India Limited (TRIFED), aims to enhance the income of Scheduled Tribes engaged in the collection of Minor Forest Produce (MFP) by promoting value addition, collective marketing, and ensuring remunerative returns through a Minimum Support Price (MSP) mechanism.
Components
The scheme comprises establishment of Van Dhan Vikas Kendras (VDVKs) as common facility centres for processing, packaging, and branding of MFP; declaration of MSP for over 80 identified MFP items; and provision of toolkits, training, and capacity building on post-harvest management, quality control, and market linkage.
Financial Assistance
Each approved VDVK receives a one-time grant of Rs. 15 lakhs for setting up infrastructure and procuring equipment. The MSP mechanism guarantees a safety net price, reducing market volatility risks for tribal gatherers.
