PRICE SUPPORT SCHEME (PSS): GOVERNMENT PROCUREMENT OF PULSES AND OILSEEDS TO PROTECT FARMERS' INCOME

The Price Support Scheme (PSS), a core component of the PM-AASHA framework, empowers central agencies like NAFED and NCCF to procure pulses, oilseeds, and copra at MSP. It protects farmers from distress sales during price crashes while promoting crop diversification and domestic self-sufficiency.
