Punjab’s plan for seamless wheat procurement with social distancing -Raakhi Jagga

-The Indian Express

To manage these efforts, the government is using IT. Starting with the arrival of wheat to its procurement by a private or government agency, the IT section of the Mandi Board will be shepherding the process.

Ludhiana: In the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic, a key challenge for the Punjab government has been to ensure that the procurement of wheat is done in a seamless manner while adhering to health advisories.

Mandis in Punjab are expecting about 18 lakh metric tones of wheat to arrive in the mandis as procurement starts from April 15. Although around 17 lakh farmers are engaged in wheat harvesting, the government is expecting the arrival of around 10-12 lakh farmers in the mandis to sell their produce. Add to that around 2,700 commission agents and almost 2 lakh labourers across the mandis in the states.
