In Lohagara, Narail, the program of distributing fertilizer and seed as an incentive for small and marginal farmers in the Rabi season has started in the current fiscal year. Through this initiative, free fertilizer and seeds are being provided to farmers for wheat, mustard, sunflower, peanut, winter onion, lentils, khesari and arhar cultivation. According to the plan, the target of crop production has been set on wheat 550 bighas, mustard 4400 bighas, sunflower 170 bighas, peanut 100 bighas, onion 80 bighas, lentils 1,270 bighas, khesari 460 bighas and arhar 30 bighas. Although a list of 7,060 farmers has been prepared for this purpose, there have been allegations of irregularities in the list. Many marginal farmers are claiming that they did not get their names on the list despite applying, while the names of people who do not have agricultural land have been included.
