AGARTALA, September 24 2022: It has been our constant endeavour at NERAMAC to provide appropriate remuneration and market linkages to farmers and entrepreneurs of the NER. It has been planned to have a set of Battery Operated Vehicles to provide an opportunity to FPOs and farmers to sell produce directly to NERAMAC Zonal Office for further delivery to the doorstep of customers in residential areas.
The vehicles would also retail, processed food items of entrepreneurs associated with NERAMAC. This would serve two purposes, firstly the farmer would be able to sell his produce easily, and secondly, the customer would get healthy fresh food at their doorstep.

The vehicle was flagged off by Apurba Roy, Secretary, Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare, Government of Tripura and Saradindu Das, Director, Department of Agriculture in presents of Rajiv Ashok, Managing Director, NERAMAC and Shankar Nath, Zonal In-charge, NERAMAC, Saturday at NERAMAC Tripura Zonal Office in Agartala.
