Procurement system more transparent, secure, farmer-friendly: Haryana CM ​

Haryana CM Nayab Singh Saini reviews wheat procurement, introduces a three-tier verification system for a secure, farmer-friendly process.

"The state government is fully committed to the interests of farmers and will ensure the purchase of every single grain of their crops. - Nayab Singh Saini"

Chandigarh, April 11

Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini on Saturday said the government has implemented several new initiatives to make the procurement system more transparent, secure, and farmer-friendly. ​

These initiatives will enhance transparency, curb unauthorized activities, and provide faster, more convenient services to farmers. ​

CM Saini was reviewing the wheat procurement process at the Babain grain market in Kurukshetra.

Later, he interacted with farmers on various aspects, including bringing wheat to market, selling the crop, and receiving payments. The farmers praised the government and said they faced no difficulties. ​

The Chief Minister honoured farmer Dharamchand, a resident of Hamidpur, who sold wheat in front of him, by presenting him with a shawl. ​

Earlier, upon arrival at the grain market, the Chief Minister and Vice-President of the Haryana State Child Welfare Council, Suman Saini, received a warm welcome. ​

The Chief Minister said the government has mandated a three-tier crop verification system. This system ensures that the crops brought to procurement centres match the crops registered by farmers. This is making the crop verification process more accurate and reliable. ​

The Chief Minister further said the government is successfully conducting procurement operations with complete transparency, accountability, and order. The state government is fully committed to the interests of farmers and will ensure the purchase of every single grain of their crops, he said. ​

CM Saini said the government has implemented comprehensive reforms in the procurement system and appointed nodal officers in each market. ​

Senior officers have been assigned the responsibility of regularly monitoring district markets, and Deputy Commissioners have been appointed in charge of the district-level procurement system. ​

Ministers and MLAs are also regularly visiting the markets to review the arrangements so that farmers do not face any inconvenience, he said. ​

As a farmer's daughter from Karnal, I appreciate the intent. But faster payments are the key. Last season, my father waited weeks for his dues. If this new system ensures payment within 48 hours as promised, it will be a true game-changer. Jai Kisan!

Interesting to see the focus on tech and transparency in agricultural procurement. In Western markets, similar digitization has helped. The nodal officer system could improve accountability if they are truly accessible to farmers.

Ministers and MLAs doing regular visits is good, but it shouldn't be just for photo ops like giving a shawl to one farmer. They need to solve the real issues: moisture checks, weight disputes, and transport costs. Hope the transparency is real, not just headlines.

Finally! A move towards a more organized mandi system. The appointment of Deputy Commissioners in charge is crucial. They have the authority to get things done. Let's hope this brings some relief to our annadaatas. 🙏

The proof of the pudding is in the eating. Every government makes such announcements during procurement season. We need to see if the "farmer-friendly" claims hold when the peak rush starts next week. I'll believe it when my uncle from Kaithal gets his payment without hassle.
