The Participatory Guarantee System under the umbrella of the PGS-India Program will be the principal approach for ensuring the quality of soil under the roof of Paramparagat Krishi Vikas Yojana.
Organic farming works on the principle of sustainable agriculture. It aids to develop and sustain the natural landscape and Agro-System.
