The Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare is the nodal agency for formulating and implementing policies related to sustainable agriculture in India.

The primary objective of the National Mission for Sustainable Agriculture (NMSA) is to promote the adoption of sustainable agricultural practices that enhance productivity, resilience, and profitability while protecting the environment.

Agricultural Mechanization is not a component of the NMSA. The NMSA focuses on promoting sustainable agricultural practices that are environmentally friendly and economically viable.

The Paramparagat Krishi Vikas Yojana (PKVY) is a government scheme that aims to promote organic farming by providing financial assistance to farmers who adopt organic farming practices.

Organic farming generally does not result in higher yields compared to conventional farming practices. However, organic farming offers several other benefits such as improved soil health, reduced water pollution, and increased biodiversity.

The National Centre of Organic Farming (NCOF) plays a crucial role in promoting sustainable agriculture by conducting research on organic farming practices, providing training to farmers on organic farming, and certifying organic products.

The Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchayee Yojana (PMKSY) provides financial assistance to farmers for adopting water-efficient irrigation technologies such as drip irrigation and sprinkler irrigation.

The Soil Health Card Scheme aims to assess the soil health of agricultural lands and provide recommendations for improving soil health.

The use of chemical fertilizers is not a recommended practice for sustainable agriculture as it can lead to soil degradation, water pollution, and health issues.

The National Mission on Agricultural Extension and Technology (NMAET) focuses on promoting the adoption of innovative agricultural technologies, providing training to farmers on sustainable agricultural practices, and strengthening agricultural research and extension services.

The Pradhan Mantri Kisan Urja Suraksha evam Utthan Mahabhiyan (PM-KUSUM) provides financial assistance to farmers for setting up solar-powered irrigation systems.

The National Mission on Micro Irrigation (NMMI) aims to promote the adoption of micro irrigation technologies, increase agricultural productivity, and reduce water usage in agriculture.

Micro irrigation technologies are designed to reduce water consumption in agriculture. Therefore, higher water consumption is not a benefit of micro irrigation.

The National Institute of Agricultural Extension Management (MANAGE) plays a crucial role in promoting sustainable agriculture by conducting research on sustainable agricultural practices, providing training to agricultural extension personnel, and developing agricultural extension strategies.

The Rashtriya Krishi Vikas Yojana (RKVY) provides financial assistance to farmers for adopting integrated pest management (IPM) practices.
