Answer: provide financial assistance to the poor farmers in the drought affected areas
Notes: 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.
