Khudian directs Agriculture Dept to develop online portal within a month
Punjab Newsline, Chandigarh, March 12-
In a decisive move to put a full stop on the sale and purchase of the uncertified seeds in the state, Punjab cabinet minister Gurmeet Singh Khudian has directed the Agriculture Department to develop an online portal for tracking and tracing of paddy seeds within a month.
The portal will mandate registered seed producers to log detailed information about every transaction involving paddy seeds including seed purchases, sales, and quantities to maintain digital record, ensuring transparency and accountability within the seed supply chain.
Khudian, along with ACS Agriculture Anurag Verma and VC Punjab Agricultural University (PAU) Dr. Satbir Singh Gosal, held a high-level meeting with the sheller owners and officials of Agriculture and Food & Civil Supplies departments at his office here, on Wednesday.
