Q. Which is the first Indian state to issue Digitised ‘J Form’, the sale receipt of agricultural produce?
Answer:
Punjab
Notes: The Punjab Mandi Board has started sending ‘digital form J’ to the farmers from this Rabi procurement season
‘J form’ is the sale receipt of a farmer’s agricultural produce in mandis (grain market). These forms were earlier issued manually by the Commission agents. This move aims to bring transparency as well as empowering farmers and make Punjab the first state in the country to provide digitised form J in real time.
