The Ministry of Textiles first stage of the project on direct transfer of funds to cotton farmers’ accounts will be rolled out in Arvi taluk, Wardha district of Maharashtra, on an experimental basis, if the price of cotton drops below the Minimum Support Price (MSP), said Textile Commissioner, Kavita Gupta.
The taluk was identified for the project as land documents are digitised and the Agriculture Produce Market Committee has better infrastructure. They are evolving a mechanism to make the payment directly to the farmers. They are still working on procedural modalities, she said.
