core of core and be the first charge on available funds for the National Development Agenda.

for these schemes would be allocated to States by the Ministry of Finance as a lump sum.
• Funding Pattern:

ο Core Schemes:
 For 8 North Eastern States and 3 Himalayan States: Centre: State: 90:10

Flexibility and flexifunds to the States/UTs
a. While designing the CSS, the Central Ministries shall permit flexibility in the choice of components to the States as
available under the Rashtriya Krishi Vikaas Yojana (RKVY).
b. Moreover, the flexi-funds available in each CSS has been raised from the current level of 10% to 25% for the States
and 30% for the UTs of the overall annual allocation under each Scheme so that the implementation can be better
