The  following  steps  are  taken  by  the  Government  every  season  for ensuring  timely  and  adequate  supply  of  fertilizers  in  the  country  including Baghpat District of Uttar Pradesh:

i. Before the commencement of each cropping season, Department of  Agriculture  and  Farmers  Welfare  (DA&FW),  in  consultation  with  all the State Governments, assesses the state-wise & month-wise requirement of fertilizers.

ii. On the basis of requirement projected, Department of Fertilizers allocates sufficient/adequate quantities of fertilizers to States by issuing monthly supply plan and continuously monitors the availability.

iii. The  movement  of  all  major  subsidized  fertilizers  is  monitored throughout  the  country  by  an  online  web-based  monitoring  system called Integrated Fertilizer Monitoring System (iFMS);

iv. Regular  Weekly Video Conference is conducted jointly by DA&FW and  Department  of  Fertilizers  with  State  Agriculture  Officials and corrective  actions  are  taken  to  dispatch  fertilizers  as  indicated  by the State Governments.

The distribution of fertilizers within the State at district level is done by the concerned State Government.
