Deputy Chief Minister and Minister for Endowments Kottu Satyanarayana on Monday announced that input subsidy for farmers would be released in the ongoing rabi season itself, compensating for the crop damage reported during the recent rains in Andhra Pradesh.
Accompanied by Civil Supplies Minister Karumuri Nageswara Rao, Mr. Satyanarayana inspected the paddy procurement exercise in the rural areas around Tadepalligudem in West Godavari district.
“The State government has recently adopted a policy that guarantees the release of input subsidy well within the agricultural season concerned. We are preparing to release the input subsidy in the ongoing rabi itself,” said Mr. Satyanarayana.
