Paramparagat Krishi Vikas Yojana (PKVY)




Introduction:

“Paramparagat Krishi Vikas Yojana (PKVY) a sub-component of Soil Health Management (SHM) scheme under National Mission of Sustainable Agriculture (NMSA) aims at development of sustainable models of organic farming through mix of traditional wisdom and modern science to ensure long term soil fertility buildup, resource conservation and helps in climate change adaptation and mitigation. It primarily aims to increase soil fertility and thereby helps in production of healthy food through organic practices without the use of agro- chemicals. PKVY also aims at empowering farmers through institutional development through cluster approach not only in farm practices management, input production, quality assurance but also in value addition and direct marketing through innovative means. Participatory Guarantee System under PGS- India programme will be the key approach for quality assurance under the PKVY. The farmers will have option to adopt any form of organic farming in compliance of PGS- India standards. While adopting a system, it must be ensured that the system adopted is compatible to the area and crop and assures optimum yield and provides adequate measures to manage nutrients, pests and diseases. Farmers will have flexibility to use appropriate package of practices best suited to their situations.

Objective:

  • To promote natural resource based integrated and climate resilient sustainable farming system that ensure maintenance and increase of soil fertility, natural resource conservation, on farm nutrient cycling and minimize dependence of farmers on external inputs.
  • To reduce cost agriculture to farmers through sustainable integrated organic farming systems thereby enhancing farmer’s net income per unit of land.
  • To sustainably produce chemical free and nutritious food for human consumption.
  • To protect environment from hazardous inorganic chemicals by adoption of eco friendly low cost traditional techniques and farmer friendly technologies.
  • To empower farmers through their own institutional development in the form of clusters and groups with capacity to manage production, processing, value addition and certification management.
  • To make farmers entrepreneurs through direct market linkage with local and national farmers.
