- Balaghat, Madhya Pradesh, has been selected as the pilot district under the World’s Largest Grain Storage Plan in the Cooperative Sector.
- A 500 Metric Tonne (MT) godown was constructed at the Primary Agricultural Credit Society (PACS) level in Parswada.
- The project is implemented through the convergence of schemes like the Agriculture Infrastructure Fund (AIF) and the Agricultural Marketing Infrastructure (AMI) Scheme.
- Under AIF, PACS receive interest subvention on loans for building storage infrastructure.
- The subsidy for PACS under AMI has been increased to 33.33 %.
- The initiative aims to reduce post-harvest losses and prevent distress sales by farmers through decentralised storage facilities.
