Farmers are now earning from crop residue instead of burning it,\u201d Rana said, crediting awareness campaigns, incentives, and new technology for this transformation.<\/p>\n<p>Farmers across Haryana are now using stubble in biofuel plants, animal feed, compost, and paper production\u2014converting what was once an environmental hazard into a steady source of income.<\/p>\n<p>The minister said the government has distributed free decomposer wettable powder\u2014one packet per acre\u2014for 75,000 acres in the first phase. The decomposer helps turn crop residue into nutrient-rich compost, improving soil fertility, reducing fungal diseases, and cutting the use of chemical fertilizers by 20\u201330 per cent.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, 1,882 Happy Seeders and Super Seeders have been given to farmers on subsidy, enabling direct wheat sowing without removing paddy stubble.<\/p>\n<p>Rana said that many progressive farmers have reported an increase of 3\u20135 quintals per acre in wheat yield and substantial savings on urea costs.<\/p>\n<p>To encourage farmers who avoid stubble burning, the government is providing \u20b91,200 per acre to 1.87 lakh farmers covering 16.31 lakh acres, with plans to raise the incentive further.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cStubble should be seen as treasure, not smoke,\u201d Rana remarked, adding that cleaner air and richer soil are replacing the winter smog that once choked Delhi and NCR.<\/p>\n<p>Countering the Opposition\u2019s claims of Minimum Support Price (MSP) lapses, Rana called the allegations \u201cbaseless political noise.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere isn\u2019t a single farmer in Haryana who has been denied MSP. Haryana is the only state where all 24 crops are procured at MSP,\u201d he asserted.<\/p>\n<p>He said the Saini government\u2019s MSP policy had become a model for the country, ensuring fair prices for all crops\u2014from paddy and wheat to millets and oilseeds.<\/p>\n<p>So far, around 60 lakh metric tonnes of paddy have been procured this kharif season, with \u201cevery single grain purchased at MSP.\u201d Early procurement, better mandi management, and efficient logistics have ensured that even small and weather-affected farmers faced no distress sales, Rana said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOther states should follow Haryana\u2019s model to solve farmers\u2019 problems overnight,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Taking a swipe at the Congress, the minister said, \u201cDuring their rule, farmers were left struggling\u2014without the support they deserved.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rana also announced a major digital reform to curb fertilizer black marketing. The state has linked fertilizer distribution to the \u2018Meri Fasal Mera Byora\u2019 (MFMB) portal.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNow, every bag of fertilizer goes directly to the farmer according to their crop details. This transparency ensures there\u2019s no diversion or hoarding,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n<p>The minister said Haryana currently has adequate fertilizer stocks and assured that \u201cno field in Haryana will remain unsown due to fertilizer shortage.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The government has also launched raids and monitoring drives to prevent black marketing and is encouraging a shift toward natural farming to reduce dependence on chemicals.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe government stands firmly with every farmer. Together, we are building a Haryana where agriculture means prosperity, not pollution,\u201d Rana concluded<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u0a2e\u0a3e\u0a2b\u0a3c \u0a15\u0a30\u0a28\u0a3e, \u0a07\u0a39 \u0a16\u0a2c\u0a30 \u0a24\u0a41\u0a39\u0a3e\u0a21\u0a40 \u0a2c\u0a47\u0a28\u0a24\u0a40 \u0a2d\u0a3e\u0a38\u0a3c\u0a3e \u0a35\u0a3f\u0a71\u0a1a \u0a09\u0a2a\u0a32\u0a2c\u0a27 \u0a28\u0a39\u0a40\u0a02 \u0a39\u0a48\u0964 \u0a15\u0a3f\u0a30\u0a2a\u0a3e \u0a15\u0a30\u0a15\u0a47 \u0a07\u0a71\u0a25\u0a47 \u0a26\u0a47\u0a16\u0a4b\u0964Chandigarh, 10 November 2025 Haryana Agriculture and Farmers Welfare Minister Shyam Singh Rana on Monday praised the state\u2019s remarkable progress in stubble management, calling it a \u201cnew industry\u201d that is changing farmers\u2019 lives and promoting sustainable farming.
