This document discusses government programs in India that promote sustainable essential oil production through community-based agriculture projects. It outlines initiatives like the National Horticulture Mission, Wadi program, and others that support cultivation of crops like palmarosa, citronella, lemongrass, and Eucalyptus citriodora. The programs provide subsidies, training, and market support to farmers to boost production of quality essential oils while improving livelihoods and empowering local communities. District-wise details are given on the acreage and number of districts growing different aromatic crops in states like Chhattisgarh under these government schemes.

Interpretation
• Contribution of Service sector exceeds
Agricultural and Industrial Sector by a
reasonable margin
• Employment generation is a key issue in a
Nation of Billion + population which can be
generated only through Agricultural Sector
• Revenues thus generated by the state are
channelized towards development of
agriculture / horticulture and allied sectors
which hold employment generation potential
