Peanut Farmers in Bikaner Struggle as MSP Not Yet Accessible

Bikaner, Rajasthan: Peanut farmers in Rajasthan’s Bikaner division are facing a major crisis as they are being forced to sell their crop at prices far below the government-set Minimum Support Price (MSP). While the MSP for peanuts has been fixed at ₹7,263 per quintal, farmers are compelled to sell their produce at ₹5,000–6,000 per quintal due to delays in operationalizing procurement centers. Limited Procurement Centers Causing Distress The government had announced peanut procurement at MSP from 24 November, setting up 43 centers across Bikaner. However, only 14 centers are currently functional. Technical glitches and staff shortages have prevented many farmers from completing the necessary registration, blocking their access to MSP sales. The issue is not confined to Bikaner alone—f...

Jaipur, Rajasthan: Amid the ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise across 12 states, Booth Level Officer (BLO) Savita Swami of Jaipur has shared her experiences, stating that the voter list revision work is not overly difficult if approached with proper planning.
