DODA: Deputy Commissioner Doda Krishan Lal today chaired a comprehensive review meeting to assess the functioning and progress of Kisaan Khidmat Ghars (KKGs) across the district.
The meeting evaluated the status of KKGs, the range of services provided to farmers, seed and fertiliser distribution, issuance of licences, reimbursement claims, farmer registration and the overall performance of Krishi Udyamis.
Reviewing KKG-wise progress, Mr Lal emphasised strengthening these centres as one-stop service hubs for the farming community. He directed all officers concerned to ensure the uninterrupted availability and timely distribution of quality seeds, fertilisers and pesticides. Among those present were Additional Deputy Commissioner Anil Kumar Thakur, Chief Planning Officer Manesh Kumar Manhas, various district officers, officials from the agriculture sector, Krishi Udyamis and other stakeholders.
During the meeting, the Deputy Commissioner reviewed the performance of Krishi Udyamis and discussed key aspects including seed licence issuance, fertiliser distribution, qualification status of Krishi Udyamis, availability of pesticides, Wi-Fi installation at KKGs, CSC onboarding and the distribution of agricultural inputs. The Krishi Udyamis highlighted grievances regarding the timely availability of supplies and shared suggestions for strengthening operations.
The Deputy Commissioner directed Sub-Divisional Officers concerned to facilitate the timely issuance of licences to eligible Krishi Udyamis and ensure no bottlenecks hamper service delivery. He further reviewed the average daily transactions and income generated by the centres, stressing the importance of operational efficiency.
Reviewing the status of reimbursement claims, the Deputy Commissioner directed that 100 percent targets be achieved in a time-bound manner. The meeting was informed that of the 112 Krishi Udyamis operating in the district, the average daily reporting stood at around 19.
Expressing concern over the low reporting percentage, Mr Lal directed all Krishi Udyamis to maintain regular updates for effective monitoring. He instructed nodal officers to coordinate closely with Krishi Udyamis to address their issues promptly. The meeting further reviewed farmer registrations under different categories, including L1, L2 and L3 e-KYC verification. The Deputy Commissioner directed all Krishi Udyamis and nodal officers to accelerate the registration process to achieve targets prescribed under initiatives such as HADP, particularly in low-performing centres.
The Deputy Commissioner urged Krishi Udyamis to proactively reach out to farmers to ensure they are aware of the benefits available through KKGs. He emphasised regular interaction and the dissemination of information regarding government schemes and digital services. Krishi Udyamis were directed to strengthen grassroots outreach and act as effective facilitators for the farming community.
Reaffirming the commitment of the district administration, the Deputy Commissioner assured Krishi Udyamis of full support and urged them to work with dedication to make KKGs more effective and farmer-friendly institutions.
