This method is the goal of purchasing the registration
This season, 124 lakh tonnes of wheat will be purchased in the state. Along with this, five lakh tonnes of wheat in the previous season. In such a situation, there will be 129 lakh tonnes of wheat in the Punjab government. Saving is a big question in making government grain procurement. Also, there will always be food grains to buy. Keeping these two things in mind, the Punjab government is progressing in the purchase of wheat.
The government appeals to farmers
700 temporary markets have been built. Once the wheat purchased in the market is reached, it will be raised and taken to the warehouse. However, when the wheat is brought for sale, the authorities have requested the farmers to ensure that it is completely dry. If the wheat is not good quality, farmers should be satisfied with the guaranteed price.
Facilities for farmers
The Punjab government has said that wheat farmers will be given within 24 hours of purchase. For this purpose, the government has taken a cash limit of Rs 28,894 crore. Payments will be transferred directly to farmers’ accounts. In addition, the government has arranged enough electricity supply, toilet, clean water and medical facilities to ensure that there is no inconvenience to the farmers.
