Union Home Minister and Minister of Cooperation Shri Amit Shah chaired a review meeting of Bhartiya Beej Sahkari Samiti Limited (BBSSL) in New Delhi. The meeting was attended by the Union Ministers of State for Cooperation Shri Krishna Pal and Shri Murlidhar Mohol. Secretary, Ministry of Cooperation, Dr. Ashish Kumar Bhutani, Additional Secretary, Ministry of Cooperation, Shri Pankaj Kumar Bansal and Chairman and Managing Director of BBSSL were present on the occasion.  

Addressing the meeting, Shri Amit Shah said that the Bhartiya Beej Sahkari Samiti Limited (BBSSL) has a crucial role in realizing Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi’s vision of "Sehkar Se Samriddhi” and empowering farmers.

He emphasized that BBSSL should focus on the collection and preservation of India’s traditional seeds. In the meeting, Shri Amit Shah set a target for BBSSL to connect with an additional 20,000 cooperatives by the year 2025-26. 

Shri Shah said that BBSSL should focus more on such seed production that require less water and pesticides. He also emphasized that efforts should be made to ensure that small farmers achieve the highest possible yields and that the maturity period of their crops is extended.

Union Home Minister and Minister of Cooperation said that BBSSL is working rapidly towards the collection and preservation of India's traditionally nutritious seeds. He emphasized that IFFCO and KRIBHCO should evaluate the nutritional value of our indigenous and hybrid seeds. 

Shri Shah added that, priority of BBSSL is to promote and preserve traditionally nutritious seeds which are now in less usage along with increasing the production of pulses and oilseeds without reducing their nutritional value.

Union Minister of Cooperation noted that IFFCO and KRIBHCO should strive to make their laboratories exemplary and the best in the field. He also mentioned that all cooperative institutions should encourage farmers to practice farming with certified seeds.

Shri Amit Shah highlighted that more than 20,000 different cooperative societies from 34 states and union territories across the country are shareholders of BBSSL. He added that BBSSL should utilize the scientists and laboratories of all government universities working towards seed production, research and promotion. 

Union Minister of Cooperation stressed on preparing a 10-year roadmap and its regular review to achieve the goals related to increasing seed production. During Rabi 2024, BBSSL is producing foundation and certified seeds over an area of 5,596 hectares across 6 states. 

Under this program, an estimated production of 1,64,804 quintals of seeds from 49 varieties of 8 crops is expected. BBSSL has set an ambitious target of achieving a total turnover of ₹18,000 crore by the year 2032-33. 

Since its operations began, BBSSL has sold/distributed 41,773 quintals of seeds, primarily from four crops wheat, groundnut, oats, and berseem which have a market value of approximately ₹41.50 crore.
