National Agricultural Code is being prepared in the country, know here what will be its work…

A few months ago, there was news of pesticides being found in the products of Indian spice companies and Singapore and Hong Kong had banned some Indian spice products. Then this news created a stir across the country. A demand was also being raised that some standard should be fixed for the items related to agriculture, their standards should be fixed. Now the government has started working in this direction and the National Agriculture Code is being prepared in the country.

Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) is responsible for fixing standards of goods, products and processes in the country. BIS itself does the work of making the 'Hallmarking' and 'Star Rating' system for gold, silk and electronic products and now it is going to make the National Agriculture Code (NAC) in the country. Will the National Agricultural Code work? Agency According to the news, the Bureau of Indian Standards is developing the National Agricultural Code (NAC) to promote quality and best practices in the agricultural sector. This will include emerging agricultural technologies, innovative agricultural activities and changing regional conditions across India.

In developing this code, those areas will be identified where there is a lack of standardization. Then standards will be developed for them.

This will be similar to how BIS has earlier prepared the National Building Code (NBC) for building construction and the National Electrical Code (NEC) for the power sector. All these standard codes have been appreciated by everyone from industry to common people.

What will be the benefit of the National Agriculture Code? Regarding the benefits of the National Agriculture Code, BIS Director General Pramod Kumar Tiwari says that at present there are standards in the country for agricultural machinery, tools and raw materials. NAC will work to enable quality culture in Indian agriculture as required by policy makers. It will also work to provide guidance to the farming community. Sanjay Pant, Deputy Director General (Standardization), BIS, said that NAC has immense potential to transform India's agricultural sector by creating a more conducive environment for farmers. It will work to solve the challenges faced by farmers and promote efficient and sustainable agricultural practices.
