Collector Sumit Kumar addressing the district cooperative development committee meeting in Chittoor on Monday
Collector Sumit Kumar on Monday said that all the MPFC (Multi-purpose Facility Centres) warehouses across Chittoor district would be strengthened with power and water facilities within five days.
Addressing a review meeting with officials of the district cooperative wing here, the Collector said that while 40 godowns were sanctioned in the first phase, construction of 27 had been completed. “Work is under brisk progress at four units, and the construction of the remaining sites will be taken up shortly,” Mr. Kumar said, adding that proper road connectivity was required for ten godowns.
He said that the status of infrastructure and development plans to strengthen godowns would be reviewed and monitored thoroughly.
The Collector said that 30,500 metric tonnes of groundnut seeds had been supplied to the farmers across the district for this Khariff season. “The farmers should note that fertilizer stocks are available with the Rythu Seva Kendras. The farmers can utilize them to suit their crop patterns and needs,” he said.
To give a fillip to the cooperative services, petrol pumps and PM Jan Aushadhi Kendras will be set up through cooperative societies as a pilot project in select places, including Chittoor, Gangadhara Nellore, Palamaner and Choutugunta area, the Collector said.
