Lakshadweep Becomes India’s First UT to be declared 100% Organic

The Ministry of Agriculture has declared Lakshadweep as India’s first Union Territory to become 100 percent organic.
All farming activity in the UT is carried out without the use of synthetic fertilisers and pesticides, which provides access to safer food choices and making agriculture a more environment-friendly activity.
Lakshadweep is second only to Sikkim, which was India’s first state to be declared completely organic.
