Mandal Agriculture Officer Narmada organized an awareness program for seed, fertilizer, and pesticide dealers in Nagar Kurnool Mandal. The program was directed by Ramesh Babu, Assistant Director of Nagar Kurnool Division. The focus was on educating dealers about the proper sale of cotton seeds and how to avoid selling fake seeds.
All seed dealers were instructed to provide receipts to farmers when selling seeds, detailing the type of seeds being purchased. It was emphasized that quality seeds should only be sold at prices set by the government. Dealers were also reminded to maintain a detailed sales register with information about each seed sale.
Strict departmental action will be taken against any dealers found selling fake seeds or charging higher prices than allowed. Farmers were advised to only purchase seeds from licensed dealers, obtain a receipt, and keep all related documents until the end of the harvest season, including empty seed bags.
