Punjab Agriculture and Farmers’ Welfare Minister Gurmeet Singh Khudian has directed all the Chief Agriculture Officers (CAOs) of the State to furnish biweekly progress reports on Centrally and State-sponsored agricultural schemes for better results.
Chairing a meeting with CAOs, the Minister reviewed the ongoing schemes and projects and asked for their close monitoring for enhanced efficiency.
Mr Khudian also asked the field staff to accomplish the targets regarding sampling of seeds, pesticides and fertilisers to ensure quality agriculture inputs to the State farmers. He said the Department has initiated legal actions against those dealers/firms whose samples have failed quality norms.
