Government farmer-centric schemes are bringing remarkable improvements to the lives and livelihoods of farmers in Rajnandgaon district. With rising cultivation area, better income, and fulfilled aspirations, farmers are witnessing a new era of agricultural empowerment.
At the Dhaba Paddy Procurement Centre today, Bargahi farmer Shri Sevak Ram Sahu arrived to sell 190 quintals of paddy. He appeared delighted, stating that he had been eagerly waiting for the start of MSP procurement. “The government’s support price procurement is helping my dreams come true,” he said.
Sevak Ram revealed that for many years he wished to build a new house, and this year’s paddy sales would finally enable him to achieve that. He also shared that last year’s income allowed him to purchase additional farmland and invest in improved agricultural practices. As a result, he achieved a strong yield and expects substantial profit.
He currently owns 60 acres of agricultural land and used the ‘Token Tunhar Hath’ mobile app to generate an online token from home. “Digital facilities have brought great relief,” he added.
Farmers Benefiting from Transparency and Ease of Procurement
He noted that farmers are increasingly adopting modern and technical farming methods thanks to timely MSP procurement and government support. Adequate seeds, fertilisers, and credit are being provided through cooperative societies, which has enhanced productivity across the district.

Under the MSP and Krishak Unnati Yojana, farmers are receiving ₹3,100 per quintal and an assured procurement of 21 quintals per acre, ensuring fair returns and strengthening farmers’ economic conditions.
At the Dhaba Procurement Centre, processes including moisture testing, availability of gunny bags, paddy filling, weighing, and receipt generation were completed smoothly and on time. Sevak Ram expressed satisfaction with the transparency and efficiency at the centre.
He extended gratitude to Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai for implementing policies that have empowered farmers and improved their quality of life.
