• Stresses Acceleration of Services Through KKGs  to ensure efficient implementation of HADP

SRINAGAR: To review the progress in functioning of Kissan Khidmat Ghars of District Srinagar established under the Holistic Agriculture Development Programme(HADP), a comprehensive meeting of line departments was held under the chairmanship of the Deputy Commissioner(DC) Srinagar, Akshay Labroo at Meeting Hall of the DC Office, here today.

During the meeting, the Deputy Commissioner took a detailed assessment of the status of farmer and farm registrations on the KKG App, daily reporting mechanisms of Krishi Udyamis (KUs), and the readiness of KKGs for the Phase-II launch. He also reviewed the KYC verification status of farmers visiting KKGs and the availability of IT and non-IT infrastructure, including PoS machines.

Further, the DC evaluated the status of seed, fertilizer, and pesticide license, along with the progress of CSC onboarding across the district. The meeting also discussed the engagement of Krishi Udyamis for Faqir Gujri Panchayat.

On the occasion, the Deputy Commissioner stressed the need to accelerate the pace of service delivery through Kissan Khidmat Ghars to ensure efficient implementation of HADP initiatives aimed at farmer welfare. He directed officers to ensure 100 percent coverage and saturation of farmer registrations on the KKG App by next week. He further instructed that Krishi Udyamis, through CSCs, must provide agriculture and allied sector services at the farmer's doorsteps, enabling KUs to emerge as capable agri-entrepreneurs.

The DC also emphasized substantially increasing farm registrations and KYC completion, directing the District CSC Coordinator to ensure timely provision of login credentials to all KUs for seamless updates and reporting.
