Chandigarh, September 24, 2024 - To facilitate the efficient procurement of paddy in Haryana, has appointed five IAS officers as special officers in various districts.
These officers will ensure smooth operation of the new system implemented for gate pass in the mandis and immediate government procurement of paddy brought by the farmers with up to 17% moisture.
Dr. Anshaj Singh has been assigned as the special officer for Kurukshetra, Jitendra Kumar for Yamunanagar, Pankaj for Kurukshetra, Sujan Singh for Ambala, and Chandra Shekhar Khare for Karnal.
Giving detailed information, the department spokesperson said that the special officers will ensure immediate procurement of paddy from farmers who bring their crops to market with the prescribed moisture content in accordance with government standards.
Farmers should not have to wait to sell their crop. Farmers are urged to dry their paddy according to government standards before bringing it to mandis, as this will help streamline the purchasing process and avoid unnecessary delay.
This time, farmers selling their crops at the mandis will not have to wait for the Mandi gate pass.
The Haryana State Agricultural Marketing Board (HSAMB) has introduced a new system allowing farmers to generate their Mandi gate pass. They can use the e-Kharid mobile application or visit the website/portal (ekharid.haryana.gov.in) to create their passes conveniently.
He said that after making this digital gate pass, farmers will not need to get any other gate pass at the Mandi gate.By scanning the QR code or by entering the self-generated gate pass number, farmers can enter the Mandi directly through this app without any delay or standing in line.
The spokesperson said that necessary instructions have been given to all the procurement agencies and field staff regarding the new system of gate pass. Farmers will not have to face any kind of problem during the procurement process.
