Karnataka government to set up Nandini dairy-like farmers' produce stalls across state.
Jun 01, 2023

Karnataka Agriculture Minister Chaluvarayaswamy announced on May 30 that similar to Nandini stalls across the state, vegetable stalls will also be introduced. Called Amrutha Malige (Amrita Shops), these will sell the local farmers' produce and will come up next to the Nandini stalls.
 
While Nandini stalls sell dairy products, Amrutha Malige will sell vegetables. He told the media that a pilot project of two stalls had been carried out and following its success, this will now be implemented in all the districts of Karnataka.
 
AGRICULTURE POSTS TO BE FILLED
Chaluvarayaswamy also told the media that there were about 58% of posts in the agriculture department that were lying vacant. The government will now decide whether to hire permanent employees or employees on contract to fill these posts. There were 8,982 posts in the agriculture department and about 5,195 posts are lying vacant.
 
The minister added that there had been a delay in informing farmers about the programmes of the agriculture department as there are more than 3000 posts vacant.
 
MEET FARMERS' NEEDS FOR SOWING SEASON
The agriculture minister has also directed his department to ensure that all the farmers' needs are met before the sowing season. He stated that quality seeds, fertilisers and other items would be made available to farmers before the sowing season.
