The Agriculture Department, overseen by police, handed out 2,100 fertilizer tokens at Baran’s playground, allowing each farmer to receive two DAP bags, totaling 4,200 bags.
Baran town in Rajasthan witnessed a coordinated distribution of DAP (Di‑Ammonium Phosphate) fertilizer on Saturday, organized by the state Agriculture Department. The event took place at the local playground under the watchful eye of police officials to ensure a smooth and transparent process.
A total of 2,100 tokens were handed to eligible farmers, each token entitling the holder to two bags of DAP. This allocation translates to 4,200 fertilizer bags being made available for the farming community, aiming to boost crop productivity ahead of the upcoming sowing season.
The distribution is part of Rajasthan’s broader fertilizer subsidy scheme, which seeks to lower input costs for cultivators and encourage the use of high‑quality nutrients. Officials emphasized that the controlled issuance of tokens helps prevent hoarding and ensures that the benefit reaches the intended recipients.
By providing two bags per farmer, the department hopes to address the immediate nutrient requirements of staple crops such as wheat and mustard, thereby supporting the state’s agricultural output and farmer incomes.
