Madhya Pradesh News: Bhopal. (State Bureau) In Madhya Pradesh, procurement of wheat will start from March 25 at the minimum support price. In this, arrangements will be made on the lines of Datia in the entire state to ensure the purchase of quality produce from the eligible farmers. Under this, two nodal officers will be appointed at each procurement center. Their job will be to get a photocopy of the loan book or copy of the account from the farmer, check it by taking Aadhar card and registration related documents.
At the same time, after obtaining information about the farmers selling food grains daily in the mandi, the sale eligibility of the farmers selling at the procurement center will also be tested. The nodal officer will also check the quality of the produce. The complaints of farmers related to procurement will also be heard after listening to them.
Faiz Ahmed Kidwai, Principal Secretary, Food, Civil Supplies, said that in this arrangement, two nodal officers will be posted at each procurement center. These officers will act as investigators between the center in-charge and the seller to prevent fake sales. Actually, many times there are complaints that farmers sell their produce in the mandi and their entitlement is used by other persons at the procurement center. To prevent this, there will be a verification team in the mandis.
They will take loan book or copy of account, Aadhar card and documents related to registration of sale at government purchase center from the farmer. On the basis of this, the information of the farmers who sell their produce daily in the mandi will be recorded in the computer. If the farmer has sold the produce in the market as per the eligibility, then his eligibility can be reduced to that extent in the procurement center because at the time of registration, other information including area, potential production has been taken.
On the arrival of the farmer at the procurement center, the nodal officer will check the sale eligibility. After that the quality will be seen. If it is appropriate, then sale authorization will be issued, which will be kept safe by the purchase center in-charge. No information will be entered on the portal without this. Daily weighing slip will be given to the farmer.
