Government Initiatives for Sustainable Agriculture in India

The Indian Government is implementing the National Mission for Sustainable Agriculture (NMSA) to enhance agricultural resilience through various schemes. Key initiatives include the Per Drop More Crop (PDMC) scheme for water efficiency, Rainfed Area Development for integrated farming, and Soil Health & Fertility schemes for nutrient management. Support for organic farming is provided through Paramparagat Krishi Vikas Yojana (PKVY) and Mission Organic Value Chain Development for North Eastern Region (MOVCDNER). Additionally, 2900 new crop varieties have been developed to withstand climate challenges, promoting climate-resilient agricultural practices.
