The Haryana government has identified 148 villages as hotspots and will focus interventions there as the paddy harvest begins.
The state administration of Haryana announced that 148 villages have been classified as hotspots ahead of the upcoming paddy harvest season. Officials said the designation will guide the deployment of resources and monitoring mechanisms to ensure a smooth and safe harvest period.
Targeted measures are expected to include intensified field inspections, provision of agricultural inputs, and coordination with local bodies to address any emerging issues. The move comes as farmers across the state prepare to reap the monsoon‑sown paddy crop, which is a staple for both domestic consumption and export.
State officials emphasized that the hotspot list will be regularly reviewed and updated based on ground realities. They urged farmers and village representatives to cooperate with the authorities to mitigate risks and sustain productivity during the critical harvest window.
The initiative reflects Haryana's broader effort to combine agricultural planning with responsive governance, aiming to protect livelihoods while maintaining food security.
