The first Indian State to go wholly organic is–

Correct option is B

Sol. Sikkim was declared as the first fully organic state of India in January 2016. The state converted all of its farmland (75,000 hectares) to certified organic, banning use of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides. This move earned Sikkim global recognition from FAO, UNEP, and World Future Council. It set an example in sustainable agriculture and environmental protection. Organic certification of land was done under National Program for Organic Production (NPOP). The initiative improved soil health, reduced pollution, and encouraged eco-tourism.
Explanation of each option:
· (a) Meghalaya – The state has tribal farming traditions and promotes organic cultivation, but hasn’t declared full organic status officially. Its organic efforts are still region-specific.
· (b) Sikkim – Correct answer. Recognized officially by the Government of India and FAO as the first 100% organic state; globally appreciated.
· (c) Madhya Pradesh – It has the largest area under organic farming in India, but it is not entirely organic state-wide. The use of chemical fertilizers still exists in many districts.
· (d) Kerala – Strong organic farming policies are in place, especially for spices and homestead farming, but the state is not fully organic by certification or land area.
