The Haryana government announced plans to establish organic seed laboratories in Gurgaon and Hisar, aiming to boost organic farming in the state.
The Haryana administration has revealed its intention to create dedicated organic seed laboratories in the twin locations of Gurgaon and Hisar. The move, reported by The Times of India, is part of the state’s strategy to strengthen the organic agriculture sector.
The proposed labs will serve as centres for research, development and quality testing of organic seed varieties, providing technical support to farmers who wish to shift away from conventional inputs. By offering locally adapted seed stock, the facilities aim to reduce reliance on external sources and improve crop resilience.
Officials said the initiative aligns with broader governmental efforts to promote sustainable farming practices, lower chemical pesticide usage and enhance the marketability of organically produced crops across Haryana.
