🏞️ Him Unnati: Himachal Pradesh’s Mission to Promote Natural Farming
🌿 Introduction
The Himachal Pradesh government has launched the Him Unnati scheme to boost natural farming across the state. The initiative aims to reduce dependency on chemical fertilizers and pesticides, while empowering farmers through sustainable agricultural practices that are both eco-friendly and economically viable.
🌱 What is Him Unnati?
Him Unnati is a flagship scheme under the State Department of Agriculture, designed to:
-
Promote natural and zero-budget farming practices
-
Improve soil health and water retention
-
Increase farmers' income without increasing input costs
-
Train and support farmers through Farmer Producer Organizations (FPOs)
This initiative is aligned with India's Paramparagat Krishi Vikas Yojana (PKVY) and contributes to the larger goal of doubling farmers' income.
