General201928 sections

This Act regulates the operation of fruit nurseries throughout the state of Uttarakhand to ensure the production and sale of high-quality fruit plants. It mandates that all nursery owners obtain a license from the Horticulture Department, requiring them to meet specific educational and technical standards. The law requires nurseries to maintain detailed records and obtain accreditation from the National Horticulture Board. By enforcing these strict licensing and operational conditions, the government aims to prevent the sale of inferior or diseased plants, thereby supporting the state's horticulture sector and protecting farmers' interests.
