Govt schemes for farmers


A target to distribute 1,00,848 quintals of seed has been fixed for the rabi crop in 2010-11, district magistrate Sanjay Prasad said.

The target for urea has been fixed to 95,000 metric tonnes while the availability is 32,977 metric tonnes. Similarly, target for DAP is 33,000 metric tonnes while availability is 32,088 metric tonnes.

He informed that awareness is being created regarding use of zinc sulphate for the wheat crop. Similarly, the farmers are also being trained for using gypsum in the sowing of mustard seeds. For stopping the crop of rai (black mustard) being infected by pests, farmers are told to use pestcides.

Prasad informed that a target of 2,56,256 hectares of land for rabi crop has been fixed for this year. There are altogether 873 tubewells in the district and 835 are functioning and 38 not functioning.

Prasad has instructed commercial and co-operative banks to entertain application of farmers on priority basis and loan should be distributed to them.

He reiterated that all types of help would be provided to the farmers. No impediments in the path of development of farmers would be tolerated under any circumstances, the DM stressed.
