Why is it beneficial for farmers?
The Government of Chhattisgarh has created a mobile app called Token Tuhar Hath to facilitate farmers who sell paddy. The purpose of this app is to save you from having to visit the committee or procurement center and stand in long queues just to get a token for selling paddy. You can set the date for selling your paddy right from your mobile phone at home. This will save your valuable time and make the process easier.
Follow these simple steps to use the app
This app only runs on Android phones. There is no official facility to run it on an iPhone or a computer.
There are two correct ways to download the app:
Do not download it from any unknown link or app store, as fake apps could defraud you. Always make sure the app is from the National Informatics Centre (NIC).

How to find your Farmer Code?
The most reliable and correct way is to visit your committee (paddy procurement center). The officials there will provide you with your correct Farmer Code. Some people mention that this code can also be found in the farmer registration information on the Food Department's website (khadya.cg.nic.in), but visiting the committee is the most trustworthy method.

After these steps, your account will be created in the app, and you can start using it.
