provide financial assistance to the poor farmers in the drought affected areas
The Drought Prone Area Programme (DPAP) primarily aims to mitigate the adverse effects of drought on agriculture and resources. Its objectives include enhancing productivity and sustainability in drought-affected regions. However, providing direct financial assistance to poor farmers is not a core objective. rather, the focus is on improving resource management and resilience. DPAP was launched in 1973 in India to address drought issues systematically.
