Evidence (2012-04-12): - Get your details on Bombay bypass - Know how to cross Bharuch with the bridge on Narmada (It can be quite a jam there) [...] it says NH8 bypass, Avoid. and instead i should go like Ankleswar BP->River Narmada Bridge -> Bharuch BP ? [...] Yes, on the NH8 Ankleshwar-Bharuch bypass, one of the 2 bridges across the River Narmada is under repair and the spot sees 5-6 km long jams which can take 30-60 minutes to clear even if you are agile enough to drive wrong side of the road and so on. Therefore, I have suggested that you avoid the bypass and go through Ankleshwar & Bharuch town, crossing the Narmada through the old "Golden" Bridge. The route is also explained in the route plan. You have to turn off NH8 at the first entry point to Ankleshwar town, drive through the town, cross the River, drive through a bit of Bharuch town and rejoin NH8 on the other side.

Evidence (2024-10-09): About GrAMs - GrAMs are defined as "Retail agricultural markets in close proximity of the farm gate that promote and service a more efficient transaction of the farmers’ produces across the agricultural sub-sectors, by enabling both direct sales, between the producer and consumer, and aggregation of small produce-lots for subsequent transaction, both of which can occur either physically or online".[iv] - These GrAMs, electronically linked to e-NAM and exempted from regulations of APMCs, will provide farmers facility of direct sale to consumers and bulk purchasers.[v] [...] Objectives of GrAMs - Direct sale: The farmer-producers may offer any of their Agri-produce on sale directly to the consumers without having to go through the market regulations. The consumer could be a retail purchaser or a bulk purchaser (trader, processor, exporter etc); and the sale can occur through a physical negotiation or via an online trade platform like e-NAM. The disintermediation of such a transaction will result in transferring maximum value to the farmer on his produce.[vi]

Evidence (2018-08-21): Government of India also planning to develop and upgrade existing 22,000 rural haats into Gramin Agricultural Markets (GrAMs). These GrAMs, electronically linked to e-NAM portal to widen the reach of eNAMs to the farmers. There is a need to develop infrastructure in these local markets to act as ‘aggregation hubs’ to facilitate farmer groups to aggregate marketed surplus for direct farmer-to-consumer sale by eliminating middlemen. The government has decided to give accredited warehouses the status of mandis, which will be linked with the online e-NAM platform over a period of time to help farmers get better market access and realise higher returns. Trading through a warehouse-linked eNAM will assure quality, storage and delivery since the warehouse itself can also take care of logistics issues. [...] The eNAM will be most effective if there is sizable lot size, the quality is uniform by involving farmer producer companies to attract bulk buyers from distant places. Among traders and commission agents, there was a fear of coming under the tax loop with the increased online transaction.

Claim: GrAMs, electronically linked to e-NAM, to make direct sale to consumers and bulk purchasers. (Govt. of India, 2018-05-26)
Evidence (2018-07-31): Price risks are associated with agricultural markets and lumpiness in arrival in mandis leads to fall in prices below MSP for some crops in some mandis for some period. In order to overcome this, Government is facilitating construction of godowns/ warehouses where the farmers can deposit their produce and obtain a warehouse depository receipt and wait for the opportunity for higher price. The Budget for 2018-19 has announced its intent to develop and upgrade existing 22,000 rural haats into Gramin Agricultural Markets (GrAMs). Toward this end an Agri-Market Infrastructure Fund with a corpus of Rs.2000 crore has been proposed.

In these GrAMs, physical infrastructure will be strengthened using MGNREGA and other Government Schemes and would be electronically linked to e-NAM and exempted from regulations of APMCs. This would provide farmers facility to make direct sale to consumers and bulk purchasers, the Minister added. Shri Jaitley said that in the last Budget, the Government had announced strengthening of e-NAM and to expand coverage of e-NAM to 585 APMCs. Out of that, 470 APMCs have been connected to e-NAM network and rest will be connected by March, 2018. Further, an Agri-Market Infrastructure Fund with a corpus of Rs.2000 crore will be set up for developing and upgrading agricultural marketing infrastructure in the 22000 Grameen Agricultural Markets (GrAMs) and 585 APMCs, the Minister informed.

For the benefit of over 86 per cent of small and marginal farmers, 22,000 rural haats are set to be upgraded into Gramin Agricultural Markets (GrAMs). These farmers will be able to make direct sales to consumers and bulk purchasers at the GrAMs, which will be electronically linked to e-NAM (National Agriculture Market). An Agriculture Infrastructure Fund with a corpus of Rs 2,000 crore will be set up for establishing GrAMs and 585 Agricultural Produce Market Committees. "These measures to integrate rural haats to e-NAM and to increase the MSP purview mean farmers can look forward to better price realisations," said Ajay Kakra, Leader - Food and Agriculture, PwC India. To ease financing crunches, the volume of institutional credit for the agriculture sector is to be raised from Rs 10 lakh crore to Rs 11 lakh crore. The corpus of funds available to women in self-help groups is to be raised to Rs 75,000 crore by March, 2019, from Rs 42k crore in 2016-17.
