Chhattisgarh paddy farmers to get ₹13,839 per acre under Krishak Unnati Yojana
Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai said paddy farmers will get ₹13,839 per acre under Krishak Unnati Yojana, regardless of how much paddy they sell.
The revised support will be calculated per acre, not by the quantity sold. Farmers who sell 15 quintals per acre instead of 21 due to lower production will get support for the remaining six quintals. The decision will benefit farmers in Bastar and Surguja, Sai said. During the Kharif marketing season, procurement is at the minimum support price, with the difference from the promised rate of ₹3,100 per quintal paid as support.
