A meeting on the “Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana” (Prime Minister’s Crop Insurance Scheme) was held today at the conference hall of the District Commissioner’s office in Tamulpur district. The meeting, chaired by District Commissioner Pankaj Chakravarty, decided to observe “Crop Insurance Week” (Fasal Bima Saptah) across the district from June 23 to 29, organized by the district administration in collaboration with the Agriculture Department. Customer Service Centres (CSCs) will also be included in this initiative. During this period, awareness meetings will be held in each of the 20 VCDCs of the district. The primary aim of the campaign is to make farmers aware of how they can claim compensation if their crops are damaged due to natural disasters or other reasons. Alongside this, other agricultural schemes under the Agriculture Department will also be discussed in these awareness sessions so that farmers can benefit in every possible way. Farmers will receive compensation through SBI General Insurance under the scheme. It is expected that around 10,000 farmers will benefit from this initiative. Today’s meeting was attended by Additional District Commissioner Dr. Dipankar Nath, Assistant Commissioner Anupam Deka, Sub-Divisional Agriculture Officer Nirod Chandra Nath, State Nodal Officer of Customer Service Centres Jhanjhashree Sarkar, along with other agriculture development officers, field assistants, agricultural inspectors, and other concerned officials.
