Maharashtra Farmers Raise Issue of Due Crop Insurance Claim With Shivraj Singh Chouhan

25 August 2024, New Delhi: Union Agriculture and Farmers Welfare Minister  Shivraj Singh Chouhan interacted with farmers in Nanded, Maharashtra on Wednesday. During the interaction, farmers of the Parbhani district informed the Union Minister about the problem of pending insurance claims for their soybean crop. In this regard,  Chouhan gave instructions to the Agriculture and Farmers Welfare Officials to immediately resolve the problem. 

Department of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare held a meeting of the National Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) in this regard on Thursday. In the meeting, the TAC rejected the objection lodged by the insurance company on crop-cutting experiments and directed the insurance company to pay the pending claims. Due to this decision, pending claims of Rs 200 to 225 crores are to be paid to about 2,00,000 farmers of Parbhani district.

Further on Friday, the Central Technical Advisory Committee issued an order to the concerned insurance company to pay the due claim within 1 week in this regard.
