He gave concrete guidelines to FCI, NCCF, NAFED and state -scale corporations to connect PACs with more and more warehouses. It was also decided at the meeting that states should include more and more PACs at their level in this scheme, and that marketing federations at the state level should also be linked to it, so that a complete cooperative supply chain can be developed. Amit Shah has called on all current organizations to implement the scheme in time and effectively, so that the scheme was a milestone in achieving the purpose of ‘confident India’ and ‘wealth of cooperation’. -Ians PSK/Ekd Share this Story Tags
