The state of Chhattisgarh is actively promoting natural farming through its flagship initiative, the Godhan Nyay Yojana, launched in July 2020. This scheme encourages organic agriculture by purchasing cow dung from farmers and livestock owners at ₹2 per kilogram, which is then processed into vermicompost and other organic products by women self-help groups. These products are sold to farmers as organic manure, thereby reducing reliance on chemical fertilizers. Additionally, the program has expanded to include the procurement of cow urine at ₹4 per litre, used to produce natural liquid fertilizers and pest control solutions. This initiative not only supports sustainable farming practices but also generates employment opportunities in rural areas. The success of the Godhan Nyay Yojana has inspired other states like Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, and Uttar Pradesh to adopt similar models to enhance rural economies and promote organic farming.
