Sikkim Fully Organic

Sikkim beat 51 nominated policies from 25 different countries of the world to win the Future Policy Award 2018, which is also known as the "Oscar for best policies".

India's first fully organic state, Sikkim, won top prize in a UN-backed award on Friday, with organisers saying its policies had helped more than 66,000 farmers, boosted tourism and set an example to other countries.

Being developed as a green state, Sikkim had become India's first fully organic state in 2016.

Sikkim has become India's first fully organic state by converting around 75,000 hectares of agricultural land into sustainable cultivation.
