Promotion of Climate-Resilient and Sustainable Farming Practices

The Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare, through ICAR, implements various schemes like NICRA to promote climate-resilient and sustainable farming.

Key initiatives include the Sub Mission on Seeds and Planting Materials (SMSP) with significant 2024-25 allocations, and the National Mission for Sustainable Agriculture (NMSA), which encompasses programs like 'Per Drop More Crop', Rainfed Area Development, and Soil Health Card schemes. Organic farming is promoted through PKVY and MOVCDNER, catering to different regions.
