Crop Compensation: Farming is such a work, which is completely dependent on nature. Due to the good activities of nature, the productivity of the crop increases, which also increases the chances of the farmers to earn well, but due to climate change, the course of nature has changed since last few years. There is a lot of damage to the crops due to unseasonal rains, storms, hailstorms or other reasons. Crops are getting destroyed day by day due to pests, diseases and weather. In order to reduce the crop losses due to natural calamities, the Center has started Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana, in which partial compensation is given to the farmers for the losses.
Many state governments also run many schemes at their level. The Bihar government has also started the Crop Assistance Scheme, in which Rabi crops-wheat, maize, lentils, arhar, gram, sugarcane, mustard-mustard, potato, onion have now been notified.
grant to whom
Under the Bihar Fasal Sahayata Yojana, the farmer has been given the facility to choose more than one crop. On applying in this scheme, the farmer will get the benefit only on 2 hectares of land. Farmers of Nagar Panchayat / Municipal Council area can also apply in this scheme.
Under this scheme, there is a provision of Rs 7,500 per hectare if there is a loss of up to 20% in the crop of the applicant farmer. On the other hand, if there is more than 20% loss, the assistance amount of Rs 10,000 per hectare will be directly transferred to the farmer’s account.
