Uttarakhand –
Key Credentials
UTTARAKHAND STATE OVERVIEW
Ø The state of Uttarakhand was formed on 9th November 2000 as the 27th State of India,
when it was carved out of northern Uttar Pradesh.

Ø Uttarakhand hosts diverse flora and fauna culture and contains rare species of both animals
and plants including a large number of rare medicinal and aromatic plants and a plethora of
land races and agriclimatic zones. This gives Uttarakhand a natural advantage in the
biotechnology sector.
Ø More than 75+ research institutions related to biotechnology are running in the state. Few
of these are of international repute; IIT Roorkee, GB Pant University, Defence Institute of
Bioenergy Research, Indian Veterinary Research Institute etc.

Ø The Uttarakhand government is establishing a high-level biotechnology board to pursue

initiatives in the research field. Furthermore, the government has also decided to develop a
biotechnology park, which will integrate all the resources and furnish a focused institutional
setup, thereby accelerating the commercial growth of bioinformatics and biotechnology.

Project Concept

►Biofertilizers and biopesticides: overview

Biofertilizers and biopesticides form part of the bioagriculture. Bioagriculture is an emerging
scientific area which is useful for breeding nutritious, high-yielding and less resource input-
demanding crops.

Bioagriculture

Genetically
modified (GM) Biofertilizers Biopesticides Bio-fuels
crops

Biofertilizers are artificially multiplied Biopesticides are derived from natural

cultures of certain soil organisms that
can improve soil fertility and crop
productivity. biofertilizers can be
categorized into three major classes:
► Nitrogen-fixation (
► Phosphorus-solubilizing
► K-Solubiliser
materials including animals, plants,
bacteria, and certain minerals that can be
used to kill pests and weeds. Bio-
pesticides fall into three major classes:
► Biochemical pesticides
► Microbial pesticides
► Plant-Incorporated-Protectants (PIPs)

Biofertilizers and biopesticides have various benefits listed below:

Soil fertility and Healthy food No adverse effects on health of humans

Provide sufficient yields Save water

Help in carbon sequestration Help in reducing pollution

The project involves establishing a biofertilizer and biopesticide manufacturing

unit in Uttarakhand.

► North America held the largest market share (41.7%) in the bio-pesticides market in 2014. The
market growth in this region is attributed to growing demand for organic food as the organic
industry is dependent on chemical-free crop protection products to safeguard crops.

Growth Drivers

Widening demand – supply gap of food crops, increasing demand of

organic food and the government focus on conserving the
environment is expected to drive the growth of biofertilizers and bio-
pesticides industry in India

Impetus by GoI to improve Low food grain yield

the soil health and conserve
environment
Under the National Food Security Bill, GoI will
ensure a monthly quota of 7 kg per person for a
family below the poverty line. To meet this
target in a ecologically sustainable way and
without degrading the environment, GoI is giving
a strong push to the organic farming by
providing subsidies for new biofertilizer/
biopesticide units.
Per hectare yield in India is 3 tons/ha, lower
than the global average of 4 tons/ha. For
China and Indonesia, it is 6.5 tons/ha and 5
tons/ha respectively. Major reasons are low
usage of pesticides (only 35% area is covered,
(25%), excessive use of conventional
fertilizers (N, P, K) (120 kg/ha in India vs.
global average of 33 Kg/ha) leading to soil
degradation.

Increasing affordability
Per capita net national income has increased by
10.1% to INR88,538 per annum in FY15, over
FY14. This has led to a shift in consumption
pattern, which will lead to increase in
sale of high-nutrition and high-priced organic
food products.

Incentives from GoI

► In view of the increasing and indiscriminate use of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides,
deteriorating soil health and productivity, the concept of organic farming is gaining importance
globally as well as in India. GoI has introduced a Capital Investment Subsidy Scheme (CISS)
under National Project on Organic Farming for commercial production units for organic/
biological inputs.

► The scheme is being implemented by the Department of Agriculture & Cooperation through
National Centre of Organic Farming (NCOF) in collaboration with NABARD or NCDC.

Capital Investment Subsidy Scheme (CISS) for biofertilizer / biopesticide production units

► 25% of total financial outlay subject to the maximum of INR40 lakh per
Subsidy unit, whichever is less
► Subsidy will be released in two instalments

NABARD releases subsidy to the units financed by:

► Commercial Banks,
► Regional Rural Banks (RRBs)
