District Collector S. Kandasamy inaugurated a three-day sale of vegetables at the Chinthamani outlet at the Erode Central Bus Stand on Wednesday as part of the government's Deepavali special sales initiative.

District Cooperative Registrar Kandharaja said that a basket containing 10 varieties of vegetables, worth ₹158, was being sold for ₹100 under the scheme. The vegetables were procured through Uzhavar Sandhais and supplied to consumers at subsidised rates.


Fine variety rice is also being sold at ₹30 a kg. Around 60 tonnes of rice have arrived in Erode district for distribution through cooperative outlets.


A pack of 10 grocery items worth ₹250 is being sold for ₹200 as part of the Deepavali initiative. The scheme is also being implemented through Chinthamani outlets in rural areas. Minister K.A. Sengottaiyan had inaugurated the sale.


On the marketing of organic produce, Kandharaja said an organic farmers' cooperative society had been formed in Erode district, with 268 members so far. The society plans to sell its products through dedicated outlets at Uzhavar Sandhais across the district. The initiative was launched last Sunday.


The government plans to expand the marketing of organic products. Besides facilitating the sale of their produce, the cooperative will enable member-farmers to share information on production methods, registration procedures and marketing practices.


He said audit reports for the previous financial year had been received by cooperative societies and would be placed before their respective general body meetings for approval. Annual general body meetings were currently under way.


There had been no government announcement or instructions so far on preparations for cooperative society elections. However, membership enrolment and the updating of existing members' records were under way, he added.
