He also explained Bio Indigo as a future cash crop. If farmers cultivate Bio Indigo, then their income per acre will be considerably higher.

He said the Centre must give subsidies on natural dye to make it cost-effective. This can decrease the carbon footprint impact of textile processing and decrease the import of synthetic indigo from China. It will assist employ large numbers of farmers, he said.
