About 5.71 lakh farmers from Odisha would get benefit from the Rastriya Krishi Bima Yojana
Bhubaneswar: Odisha farmers affected by the last year's drought and floods, would get compensation of Rs675.32 crore as crop insurance under the Rastriya Krishi Bima Yojana, says a PTI report quoting official sources.
Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik sanctioned Rs277.72 crore towards state's share in the RKBY, they said adding that about 5.71 lakh farmers would get benefit from the scheme.
The farmers in all the 30 districts of the state were badly hit in twin floods and drought during the 2011 Kharif season.
"As the state government had considered panchayat as unit for the RKBY, a large number of farmers would get benefit," an official release issued by the Chief Minister's Office said.
