Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini on Saturday assured that the government will ensure 100 per cent purchase of crops at Minimum Support Price (MSP). In a meeting with the farmers' association in Chandigarh, Saini stated, "The son of a farmer has come here today to express his gratitude. We decided that within Haryana, the government will ensure the 100 per cent purchase of crops at MSP."

Saini further underlined that the government had successfully purchased significant quantities of crops at MSP. "The double-engine government has ensured the purchase of 50 lakh 65,264 metric tons of millet and 33 lakh 52,000 metric tons of mustard at MSP," he added.

Highlighting the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana, Saini noted, "This initiative by our Prime Minister is beneficial for farmers. Every farmer receives Rs 6,000 annually, with 17 installments provided so far." On Thursday, Haryana CM released a subsidy under the 'Mukhya Mantri Dugdh Utpadak Protsahan Yojana.'

Addressing the event, Saini said, "As times change, cow farming has reduced in homes. Thanks to people like you, dairy farming is becoming employment in Haryana. The state's name is synonymous with milk and curd due to high-quality, high-yielding animals and government efforts. Today, subsidies were distributed to milk producers and Antyodaya families under the 'Chief Minister Milk Producer Incentive Scheme.'"
