Bio tourism & Uttaranchal Organic
Commodity Board (UOCB)
As a nodal agency of the government of Uttaranchal, UOCB
strives to promote and facilitate organic farming in
Uttaranchal. In this endeavor, we work in close association
with village communities, Self Help Groups and various
voluntary organization. Bio tourism aptly compliments the
effort of the organization as a subsidiary income generation
activity for the villagers. And hence this association.
