Prompt actions are taken against the defaulting officer/officials found responsible.

Nine  defaulting officials from  Jharkhand region  and four  officials from  Rajasthan region were found responsible. Disciplinary/Administrative action has been initiated against defaulting officials.

- (g): 'One Nation,  One MSP through DBT'  has been implemented across the country from RMS 2021-22 onwards. Payment of MSP has been ensured directly into farmers' account. DBT  eliminated  fictitious  farmers and reduced the diversion and duplication  of payment as payment is  being made directly  to farmer's bank account. DBT  of MSP has brought in responsibility, transparency  and probity.

FCI  and most of  the  State Governments have developed their  own Online Procurement  System which  ushers in transparency and convenience to the farmers through proper registration and monitoring  of actual procurement. Through e-procurement module deployed by  procuring  Agencies, farmers get latest/updated information  regarding  MSP declared, nearest purchase center, date of  procurement  etc. This  not  only  has reduced the waiting period for delivery of stock by the farmers but also enables the farmer to deliver stock as per his convenience in the nearest mandi.

Various procurement portals developed by  procuring agencies have now been unified  into  Central Foodgrains Procurement Portal (CFPP) to  share identified MTP (Minimum  Threshold Parameters) towards development of  an application eco-system, wherein requisite information  in respect of procurement is  available at single source for monitoring  and strategic decision making  and to ensure uniformity and transparency. MTP involves online registration of  farmers, integration of  land record, digitized man(ii operations, MSP transfer to  farmers, CMR/V/heat  delivery  management and API  based integration. Food grain procurement operations has been digitized  in all states and portals of 24 states integrated  with  the national portal.

Mixed Indicator Method for determining age of rice has been introduced to check recycling  of old stocks.
