BERHAMPUR (Odisha): Awareness among the farmers about new high yield seeds and use of modern technologies can increase production of different crops, said Ganjam Collector Prem Chandra Choudhary while addressing District Agriculture Strategy meeting in Chhatrapur on Tuesday.

He directed the officials to ensure 100 per cent irrigation facilities to the farmers during the ensuing kharif season.

He asked them to speed up the paddy procurement process and timely distribution of fertiliser among the farmers. The area officials were asked to immediately report any black marketing of fertiliser.

Advocating change of crops, he asked the officials to present demonstration on the outcome of different crops in the villages and also asked them to select a model village where officials can interact with the farmers.

The Collector said crop loan worth `1002 crore through different cooperative societies and banks would be provided to the farmers during 2014. Any deviation in loan disbursement on part of any authorities would attract stern action, he warned.

It was targeted at the meeting to cultivate paddy in 2.23 lakh hectares and non-paddy in 1.8 lakh hectares.

The department has indented 72,000 quintals of paddy seeds of which 25,000 quintals have been distributed among the farmers, said officials at the meeting.

The Collector, however, asked the agriculture officials to furnish a report on declining cotton cultivation and impart the techniques of second crop to the interested farmers. He further directed them to prepare a weekly progress report on agriculture and irrigation in their respective areas.
