VISAKHAPATNAM (Andhra Pradesh): A proposal is being made to help small and marginal farmers through the NREGS, Minister for Panchayati Raj Ch. Ayyanna Patrudu said here on Monday.

A relief of Rs. 6,000 could be brought to a farmer by including agriculture operations like ploughing and sowing under NREGS and a proposal was being sent to the Government, Mr. Patrudu said while talking to reporters after reviewing the agriculture scene with the officers for khariff.

As the farming community was getting ready to start the farm operations, the Government was formulating plans to avoid problems during the season, he said.

A seed processing unit of the AP Seed Development Corporation was being planned in Visakhapatnam and to make distribution of fertilizers easy, the stock received would be dumped at Anakapalle and transported to different areas in the district from there, he said. An action plan was being drawn up to ensure prompt supply of seeds and fertilizers during the season.

Paddy was raised in one lakh acres last time and it would go up to 1.10 lakh acres for kharif for which 28,000 quintals of seeds were required. Farmers were mostly using RGL 2537 fine rice variety seeds and the stock available at present was 21,500 quintals.

A quantity of 84,000 tons of fertilizers was needed, he said. Steps would be taken to distribute fertilizers through the agriculture marketing committee, some of which had to spruce up their functioning, he felt. "Sale of fertilizers will be closely watched. Private shops selling fertilizers will be under watch and they have to display price board. They can't fleece farmers", the Minister said.

The NTR Sujala Sravanthi project, through which mineral water would be distributed to people at the rate of Rs. 2 for 20 litres, was being introduced on an experimental basis at five villages in each mandal of the district.
