You will get a bonus for purchasing rice.
The Jharkhand government has given a big gift to the farmers of the state. Now, during the financial year 2024-25, the state government will give a separate bonus of Rs 100 per quintal on paddy procured by the central government in the state. This simply means that the paddy farmers of the state will get an additional rate of Rs 100 on top of the Minimum Support Price (MSP) for their crop.
Recently, a state cabinet meeting was held under the chairmanship of Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren, in which it was decided to give a bonus of Rs 100 per quintal of paddy to farmers in the state. The bonus was announced by the government at a time when assembly elections are almost certain to be held in the state soon.
The state government will spend Rs 60 crore
Rs 60 crore will be spent from the state exchequer to give bonus to paddy farmers. This amount has also been approved in the cabinet meeting. Cabinet Secretary Vandana Dadel says the Cabinet has approved the proposal for a bonus of Rs 100 per quintal of paddy, in addition to the Centre’s MSP. Rs 60 crore has been sanctioned in this regard. Millions of farmers in the state will benefit from this decision of the government.
