The Drought Prone Area Programme (DPAP) was launched in 1973-74 during the Fourth Five-Year Plan (1969-1974).
The primary objective was to minimize the adverse effects of drought on production of crops and livestock and to increase the productivity of land, water, and other resources.
This program focused on developing irrigation facilities, soil conservation, and afforestation to prevent drought-related crises.
