Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan said that relief, support and encouragement for farmers will continue. Economic crisis does exist due to corona, but if support is needed, farmers will be provided relief even if one has to be done by borrowing money.
 
He said that in order to make crop insurance scheme more farmer-friendly and accessible, discussion will be held with Prime Minister Narendra Modi regarding its operation by State Government company and release of various grants directly into the account of the farmer. He was addressing farmers at Minto Hall in State capital on Saturday.
 
He also transferred insurance claim amount of Rs 100 crore of weather-based horticulture crop insurance scheme under the Prime Minister’s Crop Insurance Scheme, by single click into the accounts of 1.72 lakh farmers. An amount of Rs 2,000 each was transferred into the accounts of 1.75 lakh farmers with a single click under Mukhya Mantri Kisan Kalyan Yojana. On Friday, this amount was released into accounts of more than 5.70 lakh farmers. About 77 lakh farmers of State are to be benefited under the Mukhya Mantri Kisan Kalyan Yojana. The process of transfer of funds will continue.
