3.7.2 Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchayee Yojana (PMKSY) SMAF under NMSA is implemented since 2016-17 as part of the recommendation of the National Agroforestry Policy, 2014. The National Agroforestry Policy aims to encourage and expand tree plantation in association with crops and livestock to improve productivity, employment, income and livelihoods of rural households, especially the small and marginal farmers; to protect and stabilize ecosystems and promote resilient cropping and farming systems to minimize the risk during extreme climatic conditions and to increase tree cover to promote ecological stability, especially in the vulnerable regions. Emission reduction of 0.1318 MtCO₂ was achieved in years 2017-18 and 2018-19 (CRIDA, 2020). The restructured NBM was launched in 2018-19. The mission focuses on the development of complete value chain of the bamboo sector to link growers with consumers starting from planting material, plantation, creation of facilities for collection, aggregation, processing, marketing, micro, small & medium enterprises, skill development and brand building initiative in a cluster approach mode. The objectives of the NBM include increasing the area under bamboo plantation in nonforest Government and private lands to supplement farm income as well as fulfil quality raw material requirement of industries. The mission would also help in increasing the green cover and enhance the carbon sequestration potential (CRIDA, 2020).
