Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar is all set to introduce a new scheme which would provide nutritious meals to farmers visiting the grain market with their crops at Rs 10. The scheme will also apply to farmers visiting the sugar mills as well. Under this scheme, government subsidised canteens will provide ‘thalis’ containing rice, dal, chapatis, and seasonal vegetable, prepared by self-help groups at Rs 10. Khattar also reassured the farmers and labourers of the state that the administration is planning more schemes to alleviate their problems. J Ganesan, Chief Administrator, Haryana State Agriculture Marketing Board (HSAMB) stated that the scheme will be beneficial for both the farmers and the self-help groups.
