Godowns in major paddy-producing districts

The manifesto promised adequate godowns in major paddy-producing districts. Approved-source evidence found in this pass verifies active procurement systems, but not new paddy-district godown construction or district-wise storage-capacity expansion after the manifesto. Business Standard reporting on decentralised procurement pressures also indicates that stock movement and storage remain policy issues, but it does not establish delivery of the godown promise. National storage schemes cannot be credited unless MP paddy-district coverage is verified. The verdict is pending. Budget: no allocation or utilisation evidence for new paddy-district godowns was found.
