Presentation of Integrated Model of Crop Insurance and RBC 6(4)

An integrated model of crop insurance and RBC 6(4) was presented in the meeting before Chief Minister Shri Chouhan. Under this, it was proposed that the crop loss due to different types of risk to the farmer should be reimbursed from RBC 6 (4) and after calculating the claim, the balance amount should be paid by deducting the amount of RBC 6 (4). The claim should be calculated on 100 percent Scale of finance/cost of cultivation. In this, the crop insurance scheme will remain the same and the payment of the farmers will be made soon.
