Now, get FMCG items at depots

Chandigarh, June 19

Deputy Chief Minister Dushyant Chautala on Thursday launched a special scheme under which the products of Fast-Moving Consumer Goods (FMCGs) companies will be provided through depot holders at affordable prices.

This pilot project has been launched in Sirsa, Fatehabad, Karnal, Yamunanagar and Panchkula districts. If the trial of this pilot project remains successful in these districts, it will be implemented across the state. Through the medium of depot holders, villagers will also be able to take advantage of certain services of the SBI in a hassle-free manner.

Dushyant said the main objective was to create an eco-system within Haryana through CONFED, in which multinational FMCG companies, self-help groups and other groups work amicably.

At present, the pilot project was being started for eight weeks in five districts — Yamunanagar, Sirsa, Karnal, Fatehabad and Panchkula, in which Dabur India Limited, Hindustan Unilever Limited, Marico Limited, Coca-Cola Company and Alpro Consumer Products will sell the products. — TNS
