Korea: Prosperity in the lives of farmers due to the right price of paddy: Subso Rajwade

The new paddy procurement policy of the Chhattisgarh government has given a new hope to the farmers by giving them the right price for their hard work. Sharing her experience, Mrs. Subso Rajwade, a farmer of Junapara Sardi, said that she had never imagined that one day 21 quintals of paddy would be procured per acre in the state and the price would be Rs 3100 per quintal.

Responsibility of farming and government’s convenience
After the demise of her husband Amar Sai Rajwada, Smt. Subso, who took the complete responsibility of farming, reached the paddy procurement center to sell 53 quintals of paddy this year. She said, “The arrangement of porters and sacks is better in the paddy procurement center. The employees are helpful, and no money is demanded. This gave us a chance to sell our crop without any hassle.”

The farmer will use the money properly.
Regarding the money received from paddy sale, she said, “I will use this money for farming and will save some amount for the future of my children.” She called this policy a big support for the farmers.

Farmer’s son honoured farmers
Praising Chief Minister Shri Vishnu Dev Sai, Smt. Subso said, “The Chief Minister himself is a farmer. That is why he understands our needs and problems. The steps taken under his leadership to ensure the right price of paddy to farmers have brought a pleasant change in the lives of farmers.

Smt. Subso said, “The life
of farmers is connected to farming. Getting the right purchase and the right price reduces financial crisis and gives an opportunity to become self-reliant.” The paddy purchase policy in Chhattisgarh is not only becoming the basis of economic development, but is also bringing new light of trust and prosperity in the lives of farmers.
