They enrolled for the Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana in 2016-17, but allege they have not yet received payments.

Around 300 farmers in Bidar threatened to take their own lives, claiming they have not been paid crop insurance for the last two years.

The farmers gathered at the Gram Panchayat office in Kosam demanding the payment of crop insurance, which was supposed to be paid to them as part of the Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana, the Central government-sponsored crop insurance scheme.

"We had enrolled in 2016-17 in the scheme, but we have not received the payments. We have gathered today to bring this to the notice of officials who have so far ignored our pleas," says Manoj, a farmer protesting at the venue.

According to Bidar Lok Sabha member Bhagwanth Khuba, a total of 1.73 lakh farmers enrolled for the scheme and 1.21 lakh farmers benefited from it, and Rs 149.20 crore was spent in compensating farmers in 2016-17.

However, around 300 farmers from as many as 10 villages in Bidar district, including Kosam, Halihapparaga, Naguru, Aalibabad and Khasenpura, gathered in protest on Thursday morning, claiming that they had not received the compensation.
