**RKVY:**

Under RKVY, State Governments have flexibility and autonomy in the process of selection, planning, approval and execution of schemes including Organic Farming, as per their priorities.  Accordingly, cost of projects under Organic Farming are approved by respective State Level Sanctioning Committees.

**NPOP:**

NPOP was notified under Foreign Trade Development & Regulation Act (FTDR) in  year 2001, primarily for regulation and certification of organic commodities meant for export.  It provides institutional mechanism for the implementation of National Standards for Organic Production, through a National Accreditation Policy and Programme.  It covers crop production, animal husbandry, food processing, labeling, storage and transport.

NMOOP:

Has launched a scheme for increasing production and productivity of oilseed crops in the country. The expenditure on subsidies is mostly shared on 75: 25 sharing basis between Central and State Government. Financial assistance is being provided for different type of components including bio-fertilisers, Supply of Rhyzobium culture/Phosphate Solubilising Bacteria (PSB)/ Zinc Solubilising Bacreria (ZSB)/ Azatobacter/ Mycorrhiza and vermi compost.

**ICAR:**

ICAR Research Centres are involved in developing Package of Practices for different crops and cropping system under Organic Farming in different agro-eco regions of country.
