Drought hit HP farmers to get cheaper kharif seeds by Baldev S Chauhan

Drought hit farmers in Himachal Pradesh will get 50 per cent subsidy on kharif seeds.

“Due to deficient rains from October to March coupled with the abnormal rise in temperature in March and April the standing grain crops have been partly damaged,” said a spokesman of the state agriculture department.

The official said in the current kharif season, about 35,000 quintals of seeds will be supplied by the department to the farmers at 50 per cent subsidy.This decision will come into force immediately.

The sowing of the kharif crop is completed by the end of June across the hill state.

Due to drought damage to both kharif and rabi crops in the last fiscal year the affected farmers were provided 1,27,167 quintal seeds on 50 per cent subsidy.
