Under the visionary leadership of Chief Minister, Sh. Manohar Lal, the Haryana government is sowing the seeds of prosperity, nurturing them with cutting-edge innovations, and harvesting a transformation that is reshaping the lives of the state s agricultural workforce. Through an array of farmer-centric policies, the Manohar Lal-led government is scripting a remarkable success story across Haryana s farmlands, fostering both prosperity and sustainability. The Chief Minister always values the happiness and prosperity of the Aanndata, who provide food to the state and country. Formulating and successfully implementing numerous farmer-friendly policies since 2014 supporting and uplifting the agricultural sector, including providing access to modern technology, fair prices, and irrigation, the Manohar Sarkar has always acknowledged that agriculture plays a crucial role in the economic and social fabric of many nations, and ensuring the well-being of farmers is essential for overall progress and development. Recognizing the significance of quality-certified seeds, the Haryana government is steadfast in its efforts to make them accessible to every farmer. Through seed distribution grants, farmers can purchase certified seeds at reasonable rates. The budget allocations have been consistently generous, with increasing investments over the years. This foresight ensures that Haryana s fields are always sown with the promise of a prosperous harvest. The subsidy is provided to all those farmers who purchase seeds from HSDC, HLRDC, HAIC, HAFED, HAU, NSC, IFFCO IFFDC and NFL seed sale centres. From October 2019 to March 31, 2020, a total of Rs. 45 crore and during the year 2020-21, a total of Rs. 55 crore were distributed under the RKVY scheme and State Plan scheme. (editor dailyworld.in)
