The Delhi government has increased the compensation for crop loss to Rs 75,000 per hectare, a move aimed at supporting approximately 10,000 farmers in the region. Chief Minister Rekha Gupta made the announcement, emphasizing the government's commitment to agricultural welfare.
Enhanced Financial Support for Farmers
The revised compensation marks a significant rise from previous rates, providing greater financial relief to farmers affected by natural calamities or other unforeseen events. The initiative is part of a broader effort to strengthen the agricultural sector and ensure timely assistance.
Impact on Farming Community
With this increase, affected farmers will receive up to Rs 75,000 per hectare, helping them recover losses and sustain their livelihoods. The government has streamlined the application process to ensure swift disbursal of funds.
Officials stated that the scheme will cover a wide range of crops and weather-related damages, offering a safety net to small and marginal farmers. The move has been welcomed by farmer unions and agricultural experts.
