Chief Secretary Somesh Kumar has exhorted the seed companies to procure and stock adequate quantities of seed for alternative crops like pulses and oilseeds for Yasangi (rabi) season.
Crops like groundnut, green gram, black gram, Bengal gram, caster, bajra , seasmum and oil seeds had good potential in the State in Yasangi.
The decision to encourage alternative crops comes in the backdrop of Food Corporation of India announcing that it would not procure paddy during the Yasangi season.
