The Organic Village Programme
Government of Karnataka was planned to bring 100 hectares of a village under organic farming in each district and Sahaja Samrudha implemented it in 3 districts.
Later in 2006 it extended to 100 hectares of a village in talukas and later to hoblis and renamed as Savayava Bhagya Yojane, which was successfully implemented in 35villages in 11 talukas. Now these villages have shown evidence of reduced weeds, pest and disease, with increased production and less water requirement in vegetable crops and increase biodiversity of the farm.
About 6 collectives have been formed in these villages and community marketing of organic produces is being successfully carried out.
