Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai on Thursday announced that guidelines will be framed for enabling Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) of benefits of government schemes, including assistance for sinking borewells, to bank accounts of farmers.
Addressing a gathering after performing bhoomi puja for the construction of a mega dairy for Haveri Milk Union at Arabagonda village in Haveri district, the Chief Minister said that the government will introduce a system to prevent the interference of middlemen between government and farmers and directly transfer assistance to bank accounts of farmers.
Mr. Bommai said that he is aware of the power crisis in the region and that he has been told that farmers are getting continuous power supply only for five hours. “I will issue an order to ensure uninterrupted power supply for seven hours from tomorrow,” he announced.
