GENERAL REMARKS:
At the time of establishing independent Seed Certification Agencies, it was envisaged that within a period of five years the Agency would be self-supporting from their receipts to be obtained from different seed
producing agencies. But during last 30 years, it could not be possible to make Odisha State Seed & Organic Products Certification Agency self- supported as the area under seed production has not increased proportionately.
Considering this aspect and with an aim to achieve more area under seed production, the Agency has launched a programme for establishing Private Seed Industry under the Industrial Policy Resolution of State Govt., October 1992. Participation of more than 50 Private Seed Entrepreneurs may bring a large area under seed production and existing income of Odisha State Seed & Organic Products Certification Agency will thereby increase in future. In addition, a massive programme under Special Seed Village Scheme of GOI has been launched to attract and involve more growers for Seed Production & Certification.
