Enrol under PM Fasal Bima Yojana by July 31: Maharashtra agriculture minister to farmers

Maharashtra Agriculture Minister Dattatray Bharane has urged farmers to enroll in the Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana by July 31. This revised scheme offers financial protection against crop losses due to natural calamities, unseasonal rains, and drought. Farmers growing foodgrains, pulses, and oilseeds pay a 2% premium, while those cultivating commercial crops like cotton and onion pay 5%. Essential documents and a digital crop survey are required for enrollment.
