Government has a National Policy on organic farming which seeks to promote technically sound, economically viable, environmentally non-degrading and socially acceptable use of natural resources in favour of organic agriculture. To encourage and facilitate organic farming in the country, the Government has launched a National Project on Organic Farming during 2004-05.
