Farmers stumped: No crop insurance claim against drought

-The Times of India

BHOPAL: Farmers in Rewa district, who paid insurance premium for their crops, are running from pillar to post after suffering damages because there is no provision of seeking claim against loss on account of drought.

"I paid Rs. 2,667 to Agriculture Insurance Company of India Limited against crop insurance on July 9. I went for soybean cultivation on majority of the four hectares of land with some parts for pulses," Anand Kumar Sharma of Chachai village told TOI (This newspaper has copies of the receipts).

"There was excessive rain in our district in July-end and early August. But, since then there has been no shower and crops were damaged. When I tried to get claim against the loss, I was baffled to see that there is no option if damage is due to drought," he said.
