Bhubaneswar: As part of efforts to increase the income of farmers, the Odisha Cabinet on Wednesday approved a proposed for the implementation of ‘Samrudha Krushak Yojana’.
The scheme, approved at the Cabinet meeting chaired by Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi, entails purchase of paddy at the enhanced rate of Rs 3,100 per quintal by the government from farmers to provide them remunerative price for the produce.
Farmers who have registered to sell paddy through the existing mechanism of the Department of Food Supplies and Consumer Welfare will be paid Rs 3,100 per quintal which includes the input assistance under Samrudah Krushak Yojana and the prevailing minimum support price (MSP), Chief Secretary Manoj Ahuja told reporters after the Cabinet meeting.
While automated weighing equipment will be used for all procurement in mandis, farmers will also have the added advantage of no longer having to deal with Katni-Chhatni’s current procurement procedures. The money will be credited 48 hours after procurement through Direct Bank Transfer (DBT).
Paddy seed growers who have registered under the Odisha State Seed and Organic Products Certification Agency (OSSOPCA) and sell paddy seeds through the Odisha State Seeds Corporation (OSSC) Ltd. will also be eligible to avail input assistance under the scheme.
