Chhattisgarh began its paddy procurement season on Saturday , what Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai described as a celebration of farmers’ labour and their continued trust in the state government.
He said the government is committed to ensuring that procurement is conducted in a streamlined, transparent and time-bound manner across the state.
Chief Minister noted that all arrangements have been completed at procurement centres, with essential facilities put in place to ensure that farmers do not face any inconvenience. Clear instructions have been issued to district administrations to maintain smooth operations throughout the season, so that no farmer faces any inconvenience.
To strengthen monitoring and efficiency, the state has introduced several technology-enabled systems including the Tuhar Token app, GPS-based transportation, the Satark App, and a dedicated command-and-control centre.
