Chhattisgarh

The state has two ongoing (as per 2021 NITI Aayog webpage) schemes for the promotion of organic farming - PKVY and Jaivik Kheti Mission (state scheme). In organic farming, many farmers use the principles and practices of Natural Farming, such as Jivamrit, Beejamrit, and botanical pesticide, etc. Chhattisgarh government launched the Godhan Nyay scheme in July 2020, with the aim to increase farmers’ and cattle ranchers’ incomes, promote organic compost, reduce chemical fertilizer usage, and improve soil health. The scheme also proposed to purchase cattle dung at Rs 2/kg, convert it to vermi-compost and make it available to farmers at Rs 8/kg.
