MP: CM Yadav instructs collectors, SDMs to ensure easy, accessible arrangements for farmers at procurement centres

Madhya Pradesh CM Mohan Yadav directs officials to ensure easy access, water, shade & info at wheat procurement centers starting April 9.

"Ensuring fair prices for farmers' produce is our commitment. - CM Mohan Yadav"

Bhopal, April 8

Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav held a virtual interaction with farmers and representatives of voluntary organisations from the Chief Minister residence on Wednesday, a day before beginning of wheat procurement on Minimum Support Price.

CM Yadav informed that wheat procurement in the state will begin from April 9 and he has issued instructions to all Collectors and SDMs to ensure easy and accessible arrangements for farmers at all procurement centres.

He added that arrangements for drinking water and shaded spaces are also being made for farmers at procurement centres. Social and service-oriented organisations should also extend cooperation in an important and extensive activity like wheat procurement.

The CM noted that the year 2026 is being observed as Farmers' Welfare Year in the state. The state government is committed to farmer welfare, and continuous decisions are being taken to increase farmers' income.

The Chief Minister further said that adequate arrangements of gunny bags have been made in the state and highlighted that bringing wheat price per quintal to present level (Rs 2625 per quintal) was a major challenge; it will be taken up to Rs 2700 per quintal further. Ensuring fair prices for farmers' produce is our commitment. The state government wants to serve people, and with this objective, better arrangements for wheat procurement have been made at procurement centres.

Additionally, he added that help desks are being established at procurement centres, and control rooms have been set up at the district level. The entire system will be continuously monitored through a control room established at the Chief Minister Office. Instructions have also been given to provide information to farmers through pamphlets and hoardings at procurement centres. Farmers coming to procurement centres should also be informed about government schemes related to their welfare and interests.

As someone who works in agricultural policy, I appreciate the holistic approach—help desks, control rooms, and information dissemination. The focus on increasing income, not just procurement, is crucial. The ₹75/quintal price hike promise needs to be followed through.

Good intentions, but execution is everything. Announcements are made every year. Will the SDMs and collectors be held accountable if farmers face problems? The virtual meeting is fine, but officers should spend time at the centres themselves to understand the issues.

The promise to increase MSP to ₹2700 is the key takeaway. Input costs for diesel, fertilizer, and labour have skyrocketed. This increase, if timely, will help. Jai Kisan! 🙏

Informing farmers about other welfare schemes at the centres is a smart move. Often, they are so focused on selling their crop they miss out on benefits they're entitled to. Hope the help desks are staffed with helpful, patient people.

The use of technology for monitoring through a central control room is impressive. Transparency in the procurement process is vital to prevent exploitation by middlemen. Hope the system works as intended.
