आंशिक रूप से पूरा
मिशन सात महीनों में शुरू हुआ और तेज़ी से बढ़ा है। केंद्रीय मंत्रिमंडल ने 25 नवंबर 2024 को राष्ट्रीय प्राकृतिक खेती मिशन को स्वीकृति दी, और कृषि मंत्रालय ने 11 अगस्त 2026 को संसद को बताया कि 12.60 लाख हेक्टेयर को कवर करते 24,102 समूह बने हैं, 26.76 लाख किसान नामांकित हैं, 8,100 जैव-आदान संसाधन केंद्र स्थापित हैं और 40,182 कृषि सखियाँ तथा सामुदायिक संसाधन व्यक्ति तैनात हैं। मिशन का अपना लक्ष्य 7.5 लाख हेक्टेयर पर एक करोड़ किसान है — यानी क्षेत्रफल पहले ही उससे काफ़ी आगे है और नामांकन किसान-लक्ष्य से लगभग तीन गुना। मंत्रालय के पास जो नहीं है वह यह है कि ये किसान कौन और कहाँ हैं: ‘ज़िलावार और लिंगवार आँकड़ा केंद्रीय स्तर पर नहीं रखा जाता।’
“प्राकृतिक खेती को मज़बूत करना — हम राष्ट्रीय प्राकृतिक खेती मिशन शुरू करेंगे ताकि प्रकृति-अनुकूल, जलवायु-सहिष्णु और लाभकारी कृषि को बढ़ावा मिले, जो खाद्य और पोषण सुरक्षा दे।”कोई कैग निष्पादन लेखापरीक्षा प्रकाशित नहीं
इस योजना पर कैग की कोई निष्पादन लेखापरीक्षा प्रकाशित नहीं हुई है। लेखापरीक्षा का न होना इस बात का प्रमाण नहीं है कि दावा सही है या ग़लत।
राष्ट्रीय प्राकृतिक खेती मिशन की कोई कैग लेखापरीक्षा संसद में नहीं रखी गई है। उपज पर साक्ष्य आईसीएआर के नेटवर्क अध्ययन से है, जिसका वर्णन मंत्रालय के उत्तर में बिना आँकड़ों के गुणात्मक रूप में है।
कोई लेखापरीक्षा अवधि नहीं — इस योजना पर कैग की कोई निष्पादन लेखापरीक्षा प्रकाशित नहीं हुई।
24,102 clusters covering 12.60 lakh hectares; 26.76 lakh farmers enrolled; 8,100 bio-input resource centres
नामांकन किसी समूह में पंजीकृत किसानों की गिनती है, उन किसानों की नहीं जिन्होंने अपनी पूरी जोत बदल ली। उत्तर नामांकित किसानों के लिए उपज, आय या आदान-लागत का कोई आँकड़ा नहीं देता।
Lok Sabha Starred Question No. 331, Promotion of Natural Farming — answer by the Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare
The 2024 promise is an institutional one: "We will launch the National Mission on Natural Farming to promote nature-friendly, climate-resilient, remunerative agriculture."
It was launched. "The Union Cabinet approved the National Mission on Natural Farming (NMNF) on 25th November 2024" — seven months after the manifesto, which by the standards of this corpus is fast.
Scale-up has been fast too. The Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare told the Lok Sabha on 11 August 2026: "Till date, 24,102 clusters have been formed covering 12.60 lakh Ha area, 26.76 lakh farmers enrolled, 8,100 Bio-Input Resource Centres (BRCs) established and 40,182 Krishi Sakhi/Community Resource Persons (CRPs) deployed under the Mission."
Set against the mission's own approved targets — one crore farmers and 7.5 lakh hectares over the mission period — the area covered is already well past target and enrolment is nearly triple the farmer number. On the face of it, this is one of the few programmes in this corpus running ahead of its own plan.
Which is exactly why the qualifications matter.
Enrolment counts farmers registered in a cluster. It does not mean a farmer has converted their whole holding to natural farming, or that they will still be practising it in three years — conversion typically costs yield in the first cycles, which is the standard reason adoption reverses. The answer publishes no figure for yield, income or input costs among enrolled farmers.
Monitoring has a hole in it. "District wise data as well as gender data is not maintained centrally." A mission built on clusters, bio-input centres and community resource persons cannot say which districts its 12.60 lakh hectares are in, or how many of the 26.76 lakh farmers are women — while separately reporting 40,182 Krishi Sakhis, a cadre defined by being women.
And the scientific case is stated conditionally. The ICAR network programme running since 2020-21 across 20 centres in 16 states "shows that if natural farming is adopted with the correct techniques and in a balanced manner, yields improve", with lower chemical costs raising net profit. No yield or income numbers accompany that in the answer.
The term runs to 2029, so this is an interim reading and delivery is recorded as partly delivered. The mission was promised and launched, and it is growing faster than planned. Our verdict is partly accurate.
