Annex-IV
ANNEX REFERRED TO IN REPLY TO PARTS (c) & (d) OF THE UNSTARRED QUESTION NO.389 DUE FOR ANSWER ON 19.07.2016 IN THE LOK SABHA
The steps taken by Central Government for providing remunerative prices to farmers including backward and tribal areas for their crops are as follows:-
1. Keeping in view the procurement potential areas, procurement centres for MSP operations are opened by Government agencies, both FCI and State Government, after mutual consultations.
2. Farmers are made aware of the MSP operations by way of advertisements like displaying banners, pamphlets, announcement for MSP and specification in print and electronic media.
3. Payment for the wheat and paddy procured from farmers is either made directly to the farmers or through arthias/co-operative societies as per prevailing system of the State. Payment to farmers are also made through A/c payee cheque/electronic mode.
4. MSP has been enhanced from time to time to encourage delivery of foodgrains into central pool purchase.
