The Bhagwant Mann-led Punjab government continues to ensure a transparent, efficient, and farmer-friendly paddy procurement process for the 2025 season. The smooth functioning of procurement centres across the state reflects the administration’s strong coordination and focus on farmers’ welfare.
Over 4.32 Lakh Farmers Receive Full Payment
In a significant milestone, 4.32 lakh farmers have received complete payments for their crops directly into their bank accounts. The prompt payment system has eliminated middlemen and delays, strengthening farmers’ financial stability and trust in the government’s procurement policies.
District-Wise Benefits
The Mann government’s commitment can be seen in the district-wise figures:
- Patiala: 57,546 farmers received their full dues.
- Tarn Taran: 38,578 farmers benefitted from timely payments.
- Ferozepur: 35,501 farmers have been paid promptly.
Transparency and Accountability
Under Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann’s leadership, transparency has become the cornerstone of Punjab’s agricultural policies. The government has introduced digital tracking of procurement and payments to ensure accountability at every level. This system minimizes corruption and builds confidence among farmers that their hard work is valued.
Focus on Farmer Welfare and Ease of Operations
The Mann administration has also improved logistics at procurement centres — ensuring adequate staff, smooth weighing facilities, and quick loading and unloading of produce. Additionally, complaint redressal cells have been set up to resolve farmers’ issues in real time, further enhancing efficiency.
A Step Towards Prosperous Punjab
These initiatives demonstrate the government’s vision of building a self-reliant and prosperous Punjab, where farmers are empowered through timely payments and fair policies. The successful paddy procurement process is yet another example of the Mann government’s dedication to improving the lives of Punjab’s farming community.
