Vimukti charitable Trust® organized
mass awareness campaign from 6th to 9th July, 2018 in five major
villages of our working area. Vimukti Staff with the help of local
community leaders gave input sessions on seeds and fertilizers stock
for monsoon cultivation. Govt. as already allotted sufficient seeds
and fertilizers for the farmers for the monsoon cultivation. But
farmers should demand the concerned authorities to distribute the
seeds and fertilizers in concessional rate. Seeds are available with
the Karnataka State Seeds Corporation Limited, National Seeds
Corporation and other private agencies. Sufficient stock was ensured
and there would not be any shortage for this season.|
Seeds would be distributed on 75% of concession for scheduled caste
and scheduled tribe farmers and on 50% concession for general
category farmers. The price of BT-1 variety would be Rs.635 and BT-2
would be Rs.240. Seeds should be purchased from approved 30
agencies; if sale of unauthorized seeds was found kindly, contact
agriculture officials immediately. This mass awareness campaign was
very successful in the targeted villages. Nearly 545 farmers
attended and benefited from this program.
