Mansukh Mandaviya on Tuesday said. On July 27, Prime Minister Narendra Modi dedicated 1.25 lakh PMKSKs, saying these one-stop centres for farmers will pave the way for their prosperity.
Last year, the central government decided to convert retail fertiliser shops in the country into PMKSK in a phased manner.
More than 3.3 lakh retail fertiliser shops, run by companies, cooperatives and dealers, are planned to be converted into PMKSK.
«At present, there are 1.6 lakh PMKSKs operational across the country. It is helping farmers as they are getting seeds, fertilisers and equipment at one shop.
