Aims and Objectives
It has become evident that in
order to achieve the food production targets of the future a major
effort will be required to enhance the seed replacement rates of
various crops. A major increase in the production of quality seeds is
required in which the private sector is expected to play a significant
role. At the same time, private and Public Sector Seed Organizations
at both Central and State levels are expected to adopt economic
pricing policies that would seek to realize the true cost of
production. The creation of a facilitative climate for growth of a
competitive and localized seed industry, encouragement of import of
useful germplasm and boosting of exports are the core elements of the
agricultural strategy of the new millennium.
Biotechnology will be a key
factor in agricultural development in the coming decades. Genetic
engineering/modification techniques hold enormous promise in
developing crop varieties with a higher level of tolerance to biotic
and abiotic stresses. A conducive atmosphere for application of
frontier sciences in varietal development and for enhanced investments
in research and development is a pressing requirement. At the same
time, concerns relating to possible harm to human and animal health
and bio-safety, as well as interests of farmers, must be addressed.
Globalization and economic
liberalization have opened up new opportunities as well as challenges.
The main objectives of the National Seeds Policy, therefore, are the
provision of an appropriate climate for the seed industry to utilize
available and prospective opportunities, safeguarding of the interests
of Indian farmers and the conservation of agro-biodiversity. While
unnecessary regulation needs to be dismantled, it must be ensured that
gullible farmers are not exploited by unscrupulous elements. A
regulatory system of a new genre is, therefore, needed, which will
encompass quality assurance mechanisms coupled with facilitation of a
vibrant and responsible seed industry.
