    Solution

    The PM-PRANAM scheme aims to promote biofertilizers and organic fertilizers, with the goal of reducing dependency on chemical fertilizers. However, it does not have a separate budget under the Ministry of Chemicals & Fertilizers . Instead, it is funded by savings generated from the existing fertilizer subsidies.
