Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel on Wednesday told the agriculture department to have a close look at the weather condition amid the start of Kharif season and ensure seeds and fertilizers to farmers.
Baghel was taking a review meeting on issues related to agriculture farmers' welfare.
He told the Agriculture Produce Commissioner to correspond with the Centre for supply of chemical fertilizers as per the quota.
Soon Chhattisgarh will be making available organic manure vermicompost and farmers in the state will no longer be dependent on the chemical fertilizer, Baghel said.
At the meeting, Baghel also took information about the status of rainfall, availability of irrigation water in reservoirs and prevention of seasonal diseases after the onset of monsoon.
He reviewed the ‘Narva’ development work across the state and said projects of water conservation must be expanded under the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MNREGA).
Agriculture Minister Ravindra Choubey was present at the meeting.
