Explanation:

The DBT, Ministry of Science & Technology, Government of India, as authorized under section-8 of seeds act 1966, vide gazette notification dated 10th march 2006, is the Certification Agency for the purpose of certification of the tissue culture raised propagules up to laboratory level and to regulate its genetic fidelity as prescribed.
NCS-TCP is unique, dynamic and comprehensive system which is one of its kind in the world.
Tissue culture production facilities get recognition under this quality management system based on compliance with technical capabilities, infrastructure, package of practices and documentation/ record keeping.
Once the tissue culture production facility is recognized they become eligible to get there tissue culture raised planting material certified from ATL.
The certified batches of tissue culture raised plants are provided with certification labels enabled with barcode.
This barcode provide end users to trace back history of plants from where the tissue culture raised planting material are derived.
