Raipur . Questioning the government over the reduction in paddy procurement acreage, senior spokesperson of the State Congress Committee, Surendra Verma, said that Chhattisgarh farmers are distressed by the reduction in acreage based on bogus data from digital corpus surveys and land records. Instead of 21 quintals per acre, they are only able to sell 15 to 17 quintals of paddy per acre. Due to the government's ill will, the state's farmers are being exploited.

Senior spokesperson of the State Congress Committee, Surendra Verma, has said that due to the verbal orders of the government, different faulty arrangements have been made in different areas. In many places, digital surveys have been done, while in many places, on the basis of Khatiya Girdawari, without on-the-spot inspection, fake Anawari reports have been prepared and the limit for paddy purchase per acre has been fixed. Due to this kind of ill-will and mixed system of the government, the entire system has deteriorated. Conducting Girdawari is the job of the Revenue Department, but when farmers approach the Revenue Department with their complaints, they are being sent to the Food Department for resolution. Responsible officers of the Food Department are sending the farmers to the Agriculture and Cooperative Department. In this way, farmers struggling with four departments to get the errors rectified have become frustrated.

Senior spokesperson of the State Congress Committee, Surendra Verma, has said that on matching the Integrated Farmer Portal and Agri Stake Portal, many farmers are found missing, the registration of 5 lakh hectares of paddy crop area has decreased, out of this also the crop of the field has been shown as nil in the Digital Corp Survey, that is, the farmers who have sown paddy crop in their fields, their crop column has also been recorded as nil, due to which the farmers are being deprived of selling paddy. Reduction in the area of ​​farmers' fields has become a common problem for the farmers.

Senior spokesperson of the State Congress Committee Surendra Verma has said that the entire paddy of the farmers is ready, but due to showing less land in the records, the farmers are not able to sell their entire paddy, the farmers are suffering direct loss due to the mistake of the government and the administration. Farmers are continuously complaining to the Tehsil office, Revenue office, District Collector to the Ministers and MLAs but there is no hearing anywhere, no time limit has been fixed for the solution in this government, the erroneous Girdawari is not only the same in the Mohalla but the rights of the farmers are being tampered with, there should be transparency and accountability in an important work like Girdawari but it is not visible anywhere in this government. It is clear from the attitude of the administration that this government does not want to buy the entire paddy from the farmers.

Industry and tourism will get a boost, opening the way for more than 3,000 jobs.

He said that if students watch international matches live, it will increase their enthusiasm and motivation towards sports, and these youth will take Chhattisgarh to new heights in sports in future

.NSUI's main demand: 15% seats should be reserved for students.
The organization has demanded that at least 15% of the stadium's total capacity, or approximately 10,000 tickets, be made available free of charge to students in the state. NSUI called this a "necessary step in the interest of students." NSUI

has threatened to launch a protest if a decision isn't made within two days.
NSUI has demanded that Deputy Director Ravikant Agarwal make a decision within two days. The organization also announced that in the coming days they will meet with the President of the Chhattisgarh Cricket Association (CSCS) and request him to ensure priority for students. NSUI has clearly warned that if the demand isn't considered seriously, they will surround and protest the match, for which the government and administration will be held responsible.
