MP CM’s focus on doubling farm earnings

Bhopal, Sep 17 (UNI) Reiterating the Madhya Pradesh dispensation’s commitment vis-à-vis welfare of “our cultivator brethren,” Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan averred on Thursday that his government’s objective is to double agrarian income at the earliest.
“In this context, not only is every possible form of assistance being extended to peasants with regard to their work but also crop damage is compensated to the maximum. Agricultural credit is provided at 0 per cent interest. The Mandi Act witnessed amendment for enabling ryots to obtain highest value for their yield and marketing arrangements are being improved. Recently, my regime disbursed crop insurance claim amounts totalling Rs 2,981.24 crore to tillers subsequent to depositing outstanding premium of Rs 2,200 cr for kharif 2018 and rabi 2018-19. Under this, Rs 1,921.24 cr were paid to 8.40 lakh farmers for kharif and Rs 1,060 cr to 6.60 lakh growers for rabi,” the senior politician was officially quoted as saying.
