3,500 zero-budget natural farming villages

The Agriculture Department page verifies ongoing organic and natural farming work, including PKVY organic clusters and implementation of Namami Gange Natural Agriculture Corridor under the state-funded Mukhyamantri Krishi Vikas Yojana in 39 new clusters across Pauri, Tehri, Uttarkashi and Chamoli. This is genuine movement on natural farming, but it is far short of the promised 3,500 villages and does not verify a Prakritik Krishi Protsahan Yojana with 100 percent zero-budget natural farming village coverage. Budget: state-funded natural farming implementation exists, but no specific allocation for the promised 3,500-village programme was found.
