4) District Horticulture & - Member Sericulture Officer
5) District Cooperative Officer - Member
6) Lead District Manager - Member

Since the District Level Committee has already been constituted, without going into the merits of the matter, the Writ Petition is disposed of with a direction to the 3rd respondent - District Collector to place the grievance of the petitioners before the Committee chaired by him and pass necessary orders thereon, duly considering the same, within the time frame provided under the guidelines. No costs.
The miscellaneous Applications, if any pending in this Writ Petition shall stand closed.
