Lawngtlai, 3rd February 2026: A District Level Training programme for Supervisors and Assistant Supervisors of Secondary Collection Centres was held today at 11:00 AM at the DC Conference Hall, Lawngtlai. The training was attended by the Deputy Commissioner, Lawngtlai, Shri Donny Lalruatsanga, who is also the Chairman of the District Agricultural Marketing Committee (DAMC).

Addressing the participants, Shri Donny Lalruatsanga expressed his appreciation for their presence and participation. He stated that as the initiative is part of a Government flagship programme, it requires sincere, efficient, and dedicated implementation. He emphasized that the Government is investing substantial funds to ensure that farmers receive fair remuneration for their produce, and it is therefore crucial that farmers are able to sell their products at appropriate and competitive prices.

He further highlighted that the period from February to May, particularly during the Ginger (sawhthing) marketing season, is of great importance, and both the Government and DAMC have high expectations during this time. The Deputy Commissioner expressed hope that strong cooperation and effective coordination between farmers and buyers would ensure that farmers benefit economically from their hard work.

During the programme, Dr. Saithantluangi Zote, BDO and Supervisor of Lawngtlai RD Block, delivered a session on the Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for Secondary Collection Centres and Primary Collection Centres. This was followed by a session on Book Keeping, Accounting, and Portal Entry conducted by Shri Caleb Vanlalringngama, Assistant DAO, Lawngtlai. The training also included an interactive question-and-answer session, which proved to be productive and informative.

All Supervisors and Assistant Supervisors of Secondary Collection Centres attended the programme in full strength. The training concluded with a vote of thanks delivered by Shri  Donny Lalruatsanga.
