Telangana HC Questions Non-Implementation of Comprehensive Crop Insurance Scheme

Deccan Chronicle  

Hyderabad: The Telangana High Court on Tuesday sought to know from the central and Telangana state government as to why a comprehensive “crop insurance scheme” which covers all types of losses faced by farmers was not implemented in Telangana. The Division bench issued the notices, while adjudicating the taken-up PIL by converting the communication sent by Rapolu Bhaskar, a practising advocate of the High Court, seeking a direction to the state government to implement a “Comprehensive Crop Insurance Scheme” across the state. In the letter to the High Court, Bhaskar stated that Telangana was the only state in the country where the farmers are denied any type of crop insurance scheme, and the state government was not implementing the Central government scheme namely Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana. He also submitted that instead of offering crop insurance schemes, the state government is making payment of compensation to the tune of Rs 10,000 per acre.
