A Clear Roadmap for Agricultural Growth
Officials launched the campaign in Gangtok in May 2025, attracting state leaders, agricultural experts, and farmers. The goal is simple yet ambitious—transform agriculture across all six districts.
The campaign covers East, West, North, South, Pakyong, and Soreng. It promotes climate-resilient methods, better awareness, and wider access to existing government schemes. More importantly, it strengthens farmers’ skills and income potential.
Over 460 gram panchayats will host agricultural camps. These camps will help farmers gain practical knowledge and apply it directly to their fields. As a result, farmers can boost yields while protecting the environment.
Direct Benefits to Over 76,000 Farmers
The campaign’s outreach is one of its strongest features. More than 76,000 farmers will benefit from practical workshops and expert-led sessions. This hands-on approach encourages immediate application of new techniques.
Farmers will learn how to manage soil health, use drip irrigation, and operate agri-drones. They will also explore the benefits of organic fertilization and effective pest control. These efforts not only improve productivity but also reduce long-term costs.
The campaign also offers access to crop insurance, farm loans, and cooperative farming strategies. These financial tools create long-term stability for farming households.
This focus on empowerment reinforces Sikkim’s reputation as a leader in sustainable agriculture. It also builds on the state’s historic achievement of becoming 100% organic in 2016.
Merging Technology with Organic Values
The Viksit Krishi Sankalp Abhiyan Sikkim respects Sikkim’s organic heritage while promoting modern techniques. Farmers will get access to mobile apps, automated irrigation systems, and smart warehousing solutions.
The government has partnered with agri-tech startups, NGOs, and research institutions. These partnerships ensure that farmers receive up-to-date knowledge and support.
Workshops will cover digital tools like precision farming and AI-based crop monitoring. With this knowledge, farmers can make better decisions and reduce waste. These changes also open doors to higher profits and lower environmental impact.
Additionally, the campaign supports women’s self-help groups and farmer producer organizations. This approach encourages rural entrepreneurship and inclusive growth.
A Brighter Future for Rural Sikkim
The Viksit Krishi Sankalp Abhiyan Sikkim is more than an agricultural campaign—it’s a long-term development plan. By investing in technology, education, and community, Sikkim is building a future-ready farming model.
The campaign promotes self-reliance, economic resilience, and smarter farming practices. It gives farmers the tools they need to succeed in a changing climate and economy.
As other states watch this initiative unfold, Sikkim continues to inspire with its progressive agricultural vision. The campaign promises to uplift thousands of lives and redefine what sustainable farming can look like in India.
