In Himachal at present, 39,790 farmers are already practicing over to organic farming which is ensuring production of healthy food grains, free from harmful chemical ingredients.
Himachal Pradesh government has introduced 'Prakritik Kheti Khushhaal Kisaan Yojana' to enhance agricultural income by adopting low-cost climate-resilient Zero Budget Natural Farming System.
A state-level committee headed by the state's Chief Minister, Jai Ram Thakur would monitor the implementation and progress of the Zero Budget Natural Farming System (ZBNFS).
The ZBNF system will not only improve the soil fertility, water infiltration but also discourage use of fertilizers and pesticides and reduce environmental pollution.
Himachal Pradesh government for this initiative will also organise mass awareness programs in order to educate farmers about organic farming,
