The Chhattisgarh cabinet has announced the creation of a panel to monitor fertilizer supply and has allocated a 10% quota for Agniveers. The move aims to ensure steady availability of fertilizers for farmers.
The Chhattisgarh cabinet today approved the formation of a dedicated panel to oversee the supply of fertilizers across the state. The panel will monitor distribution channels, track stock levels, and address any bottlenecks that may affect farmers.
In addition to the oversight mechanism, the cabinet has earmarked a 10% quota of all fertilizer allocations for Agniveers, the state’s volunteer force. The decision is intended to reward their service and ensure they receive priority access to essential agricultural inputs.
Agricultural officials said the panel will work closely with the state’s fertilizer board and private distributors to maintain a steady flow of inputs, especially during the critical sowing season. They also noted that the 10% quota will be implemented through the existing allocation framework.
Farmers across Chhattisgarh are expected to benefit from the new oversight structure, which aims to reduce shortages and price volatility. The cabinet’s move is part of a broader strategy to strengthen the state’s agricultural infrastructure and support the farming community.
