Haryana government said e-procurement of the crops in the state would
begin from October 1 and its payment will be credited into the bank
accounts of the farmers directly.
Initially all 'Arhatiyas' or Commission Agents would be connected with government's server, State for Food, Civil Supplies and Consumer Affairs, Karan Dev Kamboj said here today.
"Thereafter, the farmers would be connected through the Arhatiyas. This year farmers would be given option to sell their produce through Arhatiyas. The farmers would have to give their consent whether they want to take money from Arhatiyas or direct into their bank accounts," he said.
For the success of this system, he said, all the Arhatiyas would have to computerise their working so that data of all farmers could be accessed easily.
Also, the Arhatiyas would have to upload data such as name of farmer, address, Aadhaar number and other necessary information including mobile phone number on the server.
The government would start paddy procurement from October 1 so that farmers may not face any problem in selling their produce, he added.
Kamboj further that e-procurement would not only ensure transparency in the system, but would also put a check on theft of market fee.
"This would curb corruption and benefit farmers as well as Arhatiyas. With the development of this system, the Arhatiyas would be able to start e-trading in the entire country. Under this system, they would be able to purchase crops from any part of the country and sell the same online in other parts of the country," he pointed out.
The Minister also said that the control of online procurement would be at state headquarters at Chandigarh and all district headquarters would be linked to it.
The anaj mandis of districts would work under the supervision of District Food and Supplies Controller, he informed.
