Revitalise indigenous rice and other grain varieties

Fulfilled. The commitment is to undertake special efforts to preserve, propagate and revitalise indigenous rice and other grain varieties. It does not require restoration of every historic variety or a specified production target. The Goa State Amritkal Agriculture Policy 2025 expressly provides for preserving and multiplying heirloom salt-resistant and flood-tolerant rice, surveying, preserving and propagating traditional pulse varieties, and cataloguing and conserving traditional millet cultivars. Current state schemes supply local Korgut and other salt-resistant paddy seed at subsidised rates for cultivation in Khazan land and provide incentives for millet cultivation. The 2026 Governor's Address also records registration of Goa Korgut Rice as a Geographical Indication intended to conserve the state's unique varieties and improve their market recognition. These policy, conservation, seed-distribution and recognition measures constitute the promised special effort. Status fulfilled.
