The inclusion of sustainable agricultural practices in the chilli agriculture provides enormous possibilities of realizing the dreams of Viksit Bharat (Developed India). In this paper, we critically analyse how sustainable farming practices including organic agriculture; water conservation methods and Integrated pest management have the potential to increase productivity, environmental resilience as well as the well-being of local farmers of chilli. Farmers can not only increase their income but also engage in rural socio-economic development by implementing eco-friendly and cost-efficient practice. The study further emphasizes the need for facilitating government policies, grass root level technological innovations and community involvement to develop a self-reliant and sustainable agricultural ecosystem. Ultimately, this paper emphasizes the strategic contributions of sustainable chilli farming into transforming the agrarian economy and national development causes.
