Bharat Organic Atta produced by National Co-operative Organic Limited (NOCL) was launched by Amit Shah on Wednesday the 6th of July 2024. Amit Shah also announced that now maize will be procured online from cooperative societies.
Bharat Organic Atta refers to organic wheat flour produced in India. Organic atta is made from wheat grown without synthetic pesticides and fertilizers, adhering to organic farming standards. This type of flour is popular for its health benefits, as it is free from chemical residues and retains more nutrients compared to conventionally grown wheat.
Shah was addressing the Cooperative to Prosperity Conference organized on the 102nd International Cooperative Day at Mahatma Mandir in Gandhinagar. On this occasion, Shah launched several schemes in cooperative and agricultural sectors. This included the Gujarat government’s scheme to provide a 50% subsidy on the purchase of nano urea (AGR-2). During this program, he also launched Bharat Organic Atta.
Before that, Bharat Rice was launched on the 6th of Feb 2024 by Piyush Goyal. Moreover, Bharat Atta was started under the Bharat brand to keep wheat prices stable. Furthermore, rice and wheat prices will remain within the reach of the common man. Furthermore, it is also available at retail outlets and online stores.
