In the words of shri Bankim Chand Chatterji, we have nature’s bounties in form of “vandematram ! Sujalam, suphalm, malayaja shitalam, Shasyashyalam mataram !” In the rapid pace of development we have inflicted serious damage to the natural resources and consequently we are now faced the question as where is that sujalam (clean water); where is that suphlam (health crop) and where is that malayaj shitalam (refreshing air). These questions have given rise to a procedure of serious thinking to safe guard the environment and natural resources for sustainability. As a result more and more emphasis being given towards returning to nature and adoption of organic agriculture. This paper discusses the concept, aims and scope of organic farming in the context of Indian subcontinent. Government policies to encourage the task of practicing organic farming on a wider scale have also been discussed in wider context. A number of books, journals, newspapers etc have been extensively studied for this purpose.
