Farmers urged to use Krishi Rakshak app to report crop loss

BHUBANESWAR: To expedite the process of crop loss compensation under Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana, the state government has advised farmers to report their damage using “Krishi Rakshak” App.

“As post-harvest crop loss is covered under crop insurance scheme, insured farmers are entitled for compensation if the crop loss has occurred in cut and spread condition or in small bundled condition within 14 days of harvest,” said Rajesh Prabhakar Patil, secretary to cooperation department.

The unseasonal rainfall in the last couple of days in all coastal and some interior districts have caused considerable damage to harvested crops.
