Telangana ready to spend Rs 15,000 cr on paddy procurement: Uttam
Hyderabad: Irrigation and civil supplies minister N
Uttam Kumar Reddy
has said the state govt is prepared to spend over 15,000 crore to ensure the smooth and timely procurement of paddy during this yasangi (rabi) season.
Uttam Kumar Reddy along with agriculture minister Tummala Nageshwar Rao and principal secretary, civil supplies, DS Chauhan, who held a high-level video conference with all district collectors on Wednesday, termed the paddy procurement programme the most important and prestigious initiative of the govt for the next 15 to 20 days.
With a record rabi cultivation spread across 54.89 lakh acres and an estimated output of 127 lakh metric tonnes (LMTs), the state govt has planned to procure nearly 70 LMTs of paddy through an extensive network of 8,381 procurement centres across the state.
He informed the officials that over 15,000 crore was being allocated for procurement, including MSP and bonus payments. "We must ensure that once the procurement data from
Paddy procurement centres
(PPCs) is uploaded, the payment reaches the farmers within 48 hours," he said.
As of April 29, over 23 LMTs of paddy had arrived at procurement centres, and 19.60 LMTs were already purchased from around 2.55 lakh farmers. Payments worth 2,289.81 crore have already been credited to farmers' accounts against the MSP value of 4,545.72 crore, with the remaining under process. A bonus amount of 444.20 crore was also being readied.
To prevent losses due to weather disturbances, the state govt has been issuing daily rainfall forecasts down to the PPC level at 6:00 am, which must be immediately shared with staff and farmers. Farmers were being advised to use sheds during heatwaves, and ORS sachets were being distributed at PPCs.
Meanwhile, the state civil supplies corporation has received international recognition for delivering better services in the public distribution system.
The international organization HYM, recognizing the civil supplies department in providing services to the public by adhering to quality standards, has certified the state civil supplies department as meeting international standards and awarded it the ISO certificate.
