Explanation: Sikkim has become India's first 'Complete Organic State'. Implementing the practices and principles as per guidelines laid in 'National Programme for Organic Products', it has gradually converted 75,000 hectares of agricultural land to Organic farming land. In 2003, Sikkim government had declared their "Sikkim Organic Movement" which aimed to make Sikkim a fully organic state by the end of 2015. Consequently, the State government banned the use and sale of chemical fertilizers and pest controls for agricultural land, leaving farmers with no option but to use organic products. Organic Agriculture helps to preserve bio-diversity and environment in long run.
