(c) RKVY Special Schemes with 20 percent outlay for funding focused national priorities as notified by the Government of India from time to time.

One of the basic objectives of RKVY is to incentivize investments in agriculture and allied sectors by linking state wise allocation of RKVY funds to the increased share of State plan expenditure in agriculture and allied sectors.
This has helped in stepping up allocation to agriculture and allied sectors as a percentage of total State Plan expenditure from 4.88 percent in 2006-07 to 6.04 percent in 2011-12 (RE) and 6.33 percent during 2012-13(BE). The agriculture and allied sectors grew at 3.64 percent annually during the 11th Plan as against 2.46 percent per annum in the 10th Plan.
