Farmers Face Hardships in selling Mustard at MSP - PROTEST
Interviews of: Kisan Neta Vikal Pachar, Mustard Farmer Sukhdev Singh and Hafed Manager Om Parkash Bishnoi. Visuals of Mustard Arrival in Sirsa Anaj Mandi. Procurement of mustard has started in Sirsa's Grain Market since 28th March. But farmers coming to sell their mustard crop in grain market are facing a lot of hardship.
The government has fixed Rs4200-00 as MSP (Minimum Support Price) for this season, but the same was to be offered to only those Mustard farmers who had already registered their Names for MSP eligibility online on eKharid Web Portal. Those left out for various reasons rue that what is there fault in it. There was a lukewarm response to the online self-registration on eKharid due to technical difficulties and technology gap, even the web Portal crashed several times during the very limited days it was open for registration. Thereafter Govt. made arrangements for collecting offline Registration detail forms from farmers via Saksham Workers, Agriculture Department, and Revenue Department employees. After collecting these forms these were to be uploaded on eKharid by Revenue and Agriculture departments. The data entry done later is said to be flawed, resulting in denial in the Anaj Mandi as the data of several farmers does not match with UID and Bank details etc. Even those who have registered online properly are being asked to get their Girdawaris re-verified from the revenue department.
