Maharshtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has launched "Farmer market on wheel - Namo Yuva Rojgar Kendra", an initiative to supply agri produce, primarily vegetables and fruits on wheels at consumers' doorstep. 

Under this initiative, farmers will bring in their produce to the district centres (kendra) for upfront cash realisation which, according to the project director Prasad Lad, would be uploaded on a vehicle owned and maintained by a group of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) workers.
