To achieve this objective, the government plans to establish 10,000 need-based bio-input resource centers. These centers will provide farmers with the necessary resources to adopt natural farming practices, which prioritize soil health, biodiversity, and ecological balance.

The government's emphasis on natural farming is in line with its commitment to promoting sustainable agriculture and reducing dependence on chemical-based inputs. By providing certification and branding to farmers who adopt natural farming practices, the government aims to incentivize a shift towards more environmentally friendly methods of farming.
As the initiative gains momentum, it will be interesting to track its impact on the agricultural sector and the broader economy. The establishment of bio-input resource centers is expected to play a crucial role in the success of this program, providing farmers with the necessary support to adopt new practices and improve their overall productivity.
