Over 550 farmers have booked tokens to sell nearly 20,000 quintals on opening day; administration completes inspections using a 36-point checklist<\/strong><\/h3>\n

TFP Bureau, Dhamtari, November 14, 2026: Paddy procurement for the 2026-27 Kharif Marketing Season will begin across Chhattisgarh on Saturday, November 15, with all 108 procurement centres in Dhamtari district ready to receive farmers. The administration has made arrangements to procure around 20,000 quintals of paddy from more than 550 farmers who have already secured tokens for the first day.<\/p>\n

The procurement drive is beginning on the occasion of Janjatiya Gaurav Diwas. The district administration, under the guidance of Collector Abinash Mishra, has completed preparations to ensure a smooth, transparent and farmer-friendly process.<\/p>\n

In a major relief to farmers, the state government has also announced that eligible farmers will receive input assistance of \u20b913,839 per acre under the Krishak Unnati Yojana even if they sell less than the prescribed maximum quantity of paddy. The benefit will be calculated on the basis of verified land area and applicable eligibility criteria, irrespective of whether farmers sell the full procurement limit of 21 quintals per acre.<\/p>\n

The decision is expected to benefit small and marginal farmers, as well as those in low-productivity and tribal areas.<\/p>\n

36-point checklist used to verify arrangements<\/h3>\n

The administration has inspected all 108 procurement centres using a 36-point checklist covering infrastructure, technical facilities, weighing equipment, availability of gunny bags, manpower and safe storage arrangements.<\/p>\n

Centres have been equipped with sanitation facilities, fencing, electricity, computers, printers, UPS systems, generators or inverters, and internet connectivity. Electronic and traditional weighing equipment, biometric devices and moisture meters have also been checked. Weighing instruments have been verified by the Legal Metrology Department.<\/p>\n

Adequate stocks of gunny bags, stencils, marking paint and twine have been arranged. Drinking water, first-aid kits and sufficient staff, data-entry operators and labourers have also been provided to facilitate farmers.<\/p>\n

To protect procured paddy from rain and moisture, the centres have made arrangements for raised storage platforms, tarpaulins, adequate storage space and drainage facilities.<\/p>\n

Transparency and quality monitoring strengthened<\/h3>\n

Information on the Minimum Support Price (MSP) and Fair Average Quality (FAQ) standards will be displayed at the procurement centres, along with physical samples of paddy to help farmers understand quality requirements.<\/p>\n

Monitoring committees have been constituted, CCTV cameras installed and farmer registration details verified to strengthen oversight and prevent irregularities or unnecessary delays.<\/p>\n

Aamdi centre has 31,900 gunny bags<\/h3>\n

At the Aamdi procurement centre, arrangements include a storage area of 2.638 hectares and a designated buffer limit of 13,600 quintals. The centre has 31,900 gunny bags, comprising 30,000 new bags and 1,900 bags from the Public Distribution System (PDS).<\/p>\n

It also has five tarpaulins, an inverter, drainage facilities, drinking water and first-aid supplies. A total of 1,318 farmers are registered at the centre, while the nearest alternative procurement centre is 15 km away. An advance amount of \u20b91,67,580 has been received for paddy protection and storage.<\/p>\n

With preparations completed across the district, the administration aims to ensure that registered farmers can sell their produce without difficulty and that weighing, quality testing, storage and other procurement activities are carried out according to established procedures.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
