The Chief Minister said seeds, fertilisers and pesticides of good quality should be distributed through RBKs and asserted that products only related to empanelled companies should be provided. He reminded that the state government gives guarantee to the items given through RBKs. They should be thoroughly examined by Seed Corporation.
He said land survey is being conducted after 100 years and land disputes in villages would be solved through Jagananna Saswatha Bhoomi Hakku Bhoomi Rakshana scheme. The land survey is being conducted in 51 villages as pilot project and will be done in another 650 villages by December and the comprehensive land survey will be completed by 2023. He said records will be updated once survey is completed and new passbooks will be issued to the owners. The Chief Minister said 47.4 lakh people will be benefited through Jagananna Sampoorna Gruha Hakku scheme and the beneficiaries will get all kinds of rights over their property. The scheme will start on December 21.

He instructed the officials to prepare a protocol to register issues and solve problems and check if they are being followed or not. He said inspections revealed that 80 percent of secretariats employees are performing their duties well and directed the officials to support remaining 20 per cent to improve their performance.
The Chief Minister said citizen outreach programme should be conducted on October 29 and 30. The secretariat employees should meet families along with volunteers and these meetings should be held on the second Wednesday at the mandal level and on the third Wednesday at the district level.
