A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was inked on Monday between Primary Agriculture Cooperative Society (PACS), NBCC (India) Limited and Tripura State Cooperative Bank (TSCB) Limited for the construction of the world’s largest grain warehouse facility in the cooperative sector in Tripura for agriculture and allied purposes.
The MoU was signed at the Agartala Cooperative Society Office on Monday in the presence of key stakeholders, including the Registrar of Cooperative Societies, Managing Director of TSCB Limited and General Manager of NBCC.
The project aims to address the challenges posed by India’s limited cultivable land by providing quality seeds, irrigation facilities and proper equipment to the farmers and cooperatives. The project also aligns with the Prime Minister’s vision to bridge the gap between the population and cultivable lands.
General Manager of NBCC, Anil Kumar Pathak, emphasized the significance of the grain warehouse project, saying that it was a matter of pride for the state and the country. He also highlighted Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s enthusiasm for the project, saying that he had personally reviewed the progress and given his guidance. Pathak assured that the construction of the world’s largest grain warehouse would be completed promptly and efficiently.
The grain warehouse project is expected to boost the agricultural sector in Tripura and enhance the food security and livelihood of the people. The project will also create employment opportunities and generate revenue for the state.
