RKVY-RAFTAAR Agri Startup Program

RKVY-RAFTAAR supports agri and allied-sector startups through agribusiness incubators. Official AgriStartup materials show idea/pre-seed support up to ₹5 lakh and seed-stage support up to ₹25 lakh. Selection happens at the level of individual R-ABI host incubators — official materials cite examples such as MANAGE, IIT-BHU, and Assam Agricultural University — and each centre supports a capped cohort, typically up to around 20 seed-stage startups per R-ABI, so competition and documentation requirements vary by host. Funding is structured as non-equity grant-in-aid rather than a loan, aimed at agri, food-processing, dairy, fisheries, and rural innovation ventures with at least an MVP or working prototype.
