The three-year project plans to establish 250 organic-certified clusters across the region by integrating modern scientific practices with traditional farming systems. Key components include farmer capacity building, demonstration farm laboratories, distribution of certified organic seeds and planting materials, and soil health awareness using the VASUNDHARA Soil Organic Carbon and Soil pH Detection Kit.
