Taking organic farming a step ahead with the success of the third phase, the Yogi Aditynath-led state government has devised a special
five-year campaign drive. The state government has offered a 75% grant in due process to ensure 22.7 lakh biofertilizers to approximately 30,000 farmers. Moreover,

-
The Farmer Awareness Drive will facilitate nearly 50,000 farmers through training.

A 75% subsidy will be provided to the farmers to promote the use of biofertilizers.

Nearly 90,000 farmers will benefit from the subsidy.
-
The Union Home Minister will launch the ‘Sahkar Se Samriddhi’ Conference.

The event will be marked as the International Day of Cooperatives in 2024.
