Self-declaration not required for paddy seed purchase: Telangana Agriculture Dept

The Telangana agriculture department clarified that farmers do not need to provide self‑declarations when buying paddy seeds. It instructed growers to report any dealer who insists on such forms or supplies inferior seed varieties to the relevant mandal or district agriculture officer. The move aims to curb malpractice in seed sales and ensure compliance with quality standards.
