Paddy insurance coverage falls by 66K acres in Thanjavur

New Indian Express  

THANJAVUR: The crop insurance coverage for samba and thaladi in Thanjavur district has fallen by 66,500 acres compared to last year’s figures as the cut-off date for farmers to pay premium ended on November 15. Farmers attribute this to non-extension of the last date as done during last year and the growing apathy of farmers to insure their crop due to poor record of claim payment by private insurance companies. Last year farmers’ insurance covered 2,43,608 acres, which is 66,537 acres more than this year’s coverage. “We asked for extension of the cut-off date for crop insurance, but it didn’t happen this year,” said V Veerasenan, a farmer from Ponnavarayankottai village which depends on GAC.
