Pramparagat Krishi Vikas Yojna
PKVY, a sub-component of Soil Health Management (SHM) scheme under National Mission of Sustainable Agriculture (NMSA) aims at the development of sustainable models of organic farming through a 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 the production of healthy food through organic practices without the use of agrochemicals. PKVY also aims at empowering farmers through institutional development through clusters approach not only in farm practice management, input production, quality assurance but also in value addition and direct marketing through innovative means.
Participatory Guarantee System under PGS-India programme is the key approach for quality assurances under the PKVY. The farmers will have the option to adopt any form of organic farming in compliance with PGS-India standards. While adopting a system it is ensured that the system adopted is compatible with the area and crop and assures optimum yield and provides adequate measures to manage nutrients, pests and diseases. Farmers will have the flexibility to use the appropriate package of practice(s) best suited to their situations.
The Scheme envisages
- Promotion of commercial organic production through certified organic farming.
- The produce will be pesticide residue free and will contribute to improving the health of the consumer
- It will raise the farmer's income and create a potential market for traders.
- It will motivate the farmers for natural resource mobilization for input production.
PKVY in Uttarakhand
In the hilly regions of Uttarakhand, farming is just about sustenance hardly looked as viable livelihood option. The reasons are many, labour extensive geographical conditions, rain fed irrigation, lack of scientific farming practices, market linkage and scattered land holdings and lack of collective marketing etc.
As, of today there are various government interventions to elevate the farmer socio-economic condition while emphasising on sustainable measures of development. Suvidha is implementing various PKVY in Agriculture, Horticulture and Floriculture Uttarakhand, details of which are provided below -
