Navada reviews ration cards, e-KYC, paddy target set at 1,09,734 MT
The Story in Brief
The supply task force meeting in Navada on 7 November 2026, chaired by District Magistrate Ravi Prakash, reviewed ration cards, e-KYC and paddy procurement. Officials were directed to clear pending applications on time.
E-KYC work lagged most in Pakribarawan, Warsaliganj, Akbarpur and Sirdala blocks. Block supply officers were told to complete e-KYC for all beneficiaries and resolve complaints on the Sahayog portal quickly.
For the Kharif marketing season 2026-27, paddy procurement will run from 15 November 2026 to 31 March 2027, with a target of 1,09,734 metric tonnes and a minimum support price of Rs 2,441 per quintal. CMR (Custom Milled Rice) deposit period is 15 August 2026 to 31 July 2027. By 10 November 2026, 1,005 MT of CMR must be deposited, failing which action will be taken against non-compliant PACs. 19 mills have registered on the portal, and inspections are ongoing before tagging.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The meeting reveals that e-KYC and ration card pendency remain bottlenecks in four blocks, where the poorest may miss benefits if officials fail to meet the directive. The paddy procurement target of 1,09,734 MT and the 10 November CMR deposit deadline are the immediate pressure points: PACs that miss the mark face unspecified action, while mills are not yet tagged pending inspection. The outcome hinges on whether district officials enforce the timelines and complete mill tagging before procurement begins on 15 November.
