The “Paramparagat Krishi Vikas Yojana” (PKVY) is one program that offers financial aid for the construction of organic farming clusters in India. The Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare, Government of India, is in charge of carrying out the Paramparagat Krishi Vikas Yojana.
The Paramparagat Krishi Vikas Yojana’s primary goals and initiatives typically consist of:
Promotion of Organic Farming: The program seeks to encourage farmers to use organic farming practices and to make it easier for them to embrace organic practices. It encourages the use of conventional and organic alternatives while reducing or eliminating the use of synthetic inputs like chemical fertilizers and pesticides.
The PKVY focuses on the creation of organic farming clusters, when a number of farmers embrace organic farming methods in close proximity to one another. By bringing together a sufficient number of organic farmers, cluster development aids in information exchange, resource optimization, and joint marketing opportunities.
Financial Support: The program offers financial support to farmers and farmer organizations in order to build organic farming cluster. Financial assistance is provided for a number of things, including capacity building, education, certification, organic inputs, farm machinery, marketing infrastructure, and other initiatives required to advance organic farming within the clusters.
