Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy directed officials to focus on e-cropping registrations while maintaining enough stock of cattle fodder in view of the prolonged dry spell in the State.
Speaking at a review meeting on the dry spell and the contingency plans to be implemented at his camp office on Friday, the Chief Minister said e-crop data was essential for extending financial support to farmers and directed them to begin the registrations and collect cattle data from all village secretariats in order to make suitable arrangements for stocking of a sufficient quantity of fodder.
He also wanted officials to arrange meetings of farmers’ advisory councils immediately under the aegis of District Collectors to discuss contingency plans and create awareness among farmers on alternative crops in view of the dry spell.
