Ambikapur . As directed by the Chhattisgarh government, the transparent and well-organized paddy procurement center system in the district has made the process of selling paddy easier for farmers. Farmers are benefiting from digital technology and farmer-friendly policies. Farmer Nischal Mehta, a resident of Gram Panchayat Karji, Shivpur, expressed satisfaction with the transparent system of paddy procurement centers.

Farmer Mehta explained that he has 250 sacks, approximately 100 quintals of paddy.

He explained that he is using the proceeds from paddy sales to cultivate wheat, oilseeds, and vegetables, which has increased his income. He added that due to the government's farmer-friendly policies, the state's farmers are now becoming prosperous and empowered.

Mehta, while praising the paddy procurement system, expressed his gratitude to Chief Minister Vishnu Dev Sai and said that by getting the highest price for paddy, the farmers of the state are becoming self-reliant.
