Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy has asked the officials of the Agriculture Department to make preparations to disburse the YSR Rythu Bharosa benefits to the eligible farmers in May, before the commencement of the kharif season. He wanted them to take steps to clear the dues of ₹33 crore to the farmers on kharif paddy procurement.
At a review meeting of the Agricultural, Marketing, Cooperation and Civil Supplies Departments at his camp office near here on April 24 (Monday), Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy asked the officials to prepare a list of eligible farmers for Rythu Bharosa at the earliest.
“Distribute fertilizers, seeds and pesticides to farmers through Rythu Bharosa Kendras. The quantity of supply has to be increased year after year, taking the growing requirements into consideration. Keeping a track of the functioning of ‘CM App’ for providing improvised services to farmers is necessary. The SOP (Standard Operating Procedure) of the CM App should be improved to ensure that Minimum Support Price (MSP) is paid to farmers,” he said.
