Koriya, December 11, 2024: Chhattisgarh’s innovative paddy procurement policy has proven to be a game-changer for farmers, offering fair prices and fostering economic stability. Farmer Mrs. Subso Rajwade from Junapara Sardi shared her heartfelt experiences, describing how this policy has brought new hope and financial security to her life.
A Turning Point for Farmers
Mrs. Rajwade, who took on full responsibility for farming after the passing of her husband, Mr. Amar Sai Rajwade, expressed her gratitude for the government’s initiative. She never imagined that one day farmers in the state would be able to sell 21 quintals of paddy per acre at a remarkable rate of ₹3,100 per quintal.
She sold 53 quintals of paddy this season at the local procurement center and praised the seamless experience, stating, “The arrangements at the procurement center are excellent. From labor assistance to the provision of sacks, everything is well-organized. The staff is cooperative, and there’s no demand for extra payments. Selling my harvest was a smooth and hassle-free process.”
Utilizing Earnings for Growth
Mrs. Rajwade plans to wisely use her earnings from paddy sales. She explained, “This money will be invested back into farming activities, and a portion will be saved for my children’s future.” She emphasized that the policy has become a lifeline for farmers like her, offering both financial relief and empowerment.
A Farmer-Centric Leadership
Praising Chief Minister Vishnu Dev Sai, Mrs. Rajwade said, “Our Chief Minister is a farmer himself, which is why he truly understands our needs and challenges. His leadership has ensured that farmers receive fair prices for their produce, bringing significant positive changes to our lives.”
Transforming Lives Through Fair Pricing
For farmers, fair pricing is not just an economic reform; it’s a lifeline. Mrs. Rajwade believes that receiving a fair price for their hard-earned harvest helps farmers overcome financial constraints and empowers them to lead more independent lives. She remarked, “Agriculture is our lifeblood. When we receive the right price and timely support, our lives become more stable, and we can plan for a brighter future.”
A Policy that Inspires Confidence
Chhattisgarh’s paddy procurement policy has not only improved the financial standing of farmers but has also instilled renewed confidence in them. The policy’s emphasis on transparency and fairness is creating a foundation for sustainable growth in the agricultural sector.
The initiative has brought tangible benefits:
- 21 quintals of paddy per acre procurement cap ensures more farmers can sell their harvest.
- ₹3,100 per quintal price has set a benchmark for fair pricing, reflecting the value of farmers’ hard work.
- Efficient systems at procurement centers minimize delays and eliminate corruption.
Conclusion: A Path Toward Prosperity
Chhattisgarh’s farmer-friendly policies are transforming lives across the state. For Mrs. Rajwade and countless others, receiving the right price for their produce is not just about money—it’s about dignity, empowerment, and hope. As fair pricing becomes the norm, Chhattisgarh is setting an example of how thoughtful governance can lead to economic resilience and rural prosperity.
With such policies, the state continues to shine as a model of inclusive growth, ensuring that farmers, the backbone of the economy, reap the rewards of their relentless efforts.
