Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy has instructed the officials to ensure that paddy farmers get qualitative and quantitative receipts during the procurement of their produce at the Rythu Bharosa Kendras (RBK), adding that it will help prevent exploitation of ryots by millers.
“Generate a random lottery system so that millers would not know from which RBKs the grains are coming,” Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy told the officials during a review meeting of the Civil Supplies Department at his camp office on Monday.
Referring to the procurement process, the Chief Minister said that farmers must get the minimum support price (MSP) for their produce. “Millers should have no role in the procurement process. Farmers should be sensitised in the process of procurement and MSP. All RBKs should carry educative posters with phone numbers through which farmers can report irregularities, if any,” said the Chief Minister.
