Nashik: Sanjay Chavan Urges State To Reinstate Re 1 Crop Insurance Scheme, Warns Of Agitation

Sanjay Chavan urged the Maharashtra government to reinstate the Re 1 Crop Insurance Scheme.

Chavan warned of a statewide agitation if the scheme is not restored.

Inadequate rainfall has put thousands of hectares of kharif crops at risk in Maharashtra.

Farmers face financial burden from re-sowing and low crop prices for onions, cotton, and soybeans.

Since the scheme was discontinued, farmers pay 2–5% extra premium, but insurers reject claims on technical grounds.
