    "content": "Mr. Temporary Chairman, Sir, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 22 of the Bill be amended- (a) in subclause (1) by – (i) deleting the word “Council” appearing in the introductory clause and substituting therefor the word “Board”; (ii) deleting the word “Council” appearing immediately after the words “potato produce as the” in paragraph (b) and substituting therefor the word “Board” ; (iii) deleting paragraph (c) and substituting therefor the following new paragraph- (c) acquire such quantities of potato seeds for sale, storage or for such other purposes as the Board may from time to time decide and sell or otherwise dispose of such stocks in such manner as it considers appropriate; (iv) inserting the following new paragraph immediately after paragraph (c)- (d) promote value addition in potato farming. (b) in subclause (2) by deleting the word “Council” appearing immediately before the words “may engage” and substituting therefor the word “Board”. Mr. Temporary Chairman, Sir, amendments to Clause 22 are consequential in order to reflect the name. The amendment to sub-clause (1)(c) seeks to restrict the acquisition of stock for safe storage or such other purpose by the board to potato seeds and not potato produce. This will enable the board to ensure the implementation and achievement of the objects and purposes set out in Clause 3 of the Bill; promoting the production and use by farmers of high quality potato seeds, enhancing productivity and improving potato production in terms of quality and quantity. The achievement of these objectives would principally be achieved through the acquisition and dissemination to farmers of potato seeds that would be necessary for potato production."
