The government of Madhya Pradesh has taken several steps for the interest of farmers in the last few days. In the same sequence, the government has also discussed that all the farmers of the state should be insured under the Prime Minister Crop Insurance Scheme. The government can decide on this soon.
Talking to the media on this subject, Madhya Pradesh Agriculture Minister Kamal Patel said that “every farmer in the state will get crop insurance under the Prime Minister’s Crop Insurance Scheme, the state government is going to take this decision soon.”
Significantly, there are about 65 lakh farmers in Madhya Pradesh and among them, 36 lakh farmers insure their crops. The premium for crop insurance is 12%, in which the farmer pays around 2% and the state and central government combine the remaining amount. In the coming time, due to more and more farmers joining this scheme, the premium is likely to decrease further.

The most important requirement for farming is the soil, hence the healthy soil is very important to get good production from any crop. Understanding this fact, Mr. Jitendra Yadav, a farmer of Kharda village under Gogawan tehsil of Khargone district, understood. Jeetendra used Gramophone Soil Samriddhi Kit in his field before chilli cultivation which has also benefited him a lot.
In the Nimar region of Madhya Pradesh, chilli crops usually start in June-July, but Jeetendra started chilli farming in December, which would be called off-season according to that region. In such a situation, the crop is more likely to get diseases, but the opposite happened. However, about 3 months after the sowing of the crop, when the Team Gramophone reached his fields to meet him, Jeetendra looked excited.
Jitendra said that his 50-day old chilli crop is disease-free and healthy. He was very excited to explain the reason behind this. He said that “I had used Gramophone’s Soil Samriddhi Kit before sowing the crop in my field which resulted in this disease-free and healthy crop.”
It is important to note that using Gramophone’s Soil Samriddhi Kit increases the fertility of the fields and the crop does not require any other external nutrients, so Jitendra’s crop was also healthy and did not have any disease. Jeetendra told that he is expecting good production from his crop this time.
Like Jitendra, if other farmers are thinking of cultivating chilli, then they can cultivate summer chilli crop. Sowing for this occurs in March and April. For any type of information related to chilli cultivation or Soil Samriddhi Kit, give a missed call on toll-free number 18003157566.

If your crop is harmed due to any natural disaster, then it gets to benefit from crop insurance scheme but many times farmers do not join this scheme, then they do not get the benefit of this scheme. However, even in such a situation, farmers can get help from the bank from which they have taken an agricultural loan.
The Reserve Bank of India has given information on this subject on its website. According to this information, in case of more than 33% loss to the crop, the bank from whom the farmer has taken a loan, can get help from there.
What is the procedure?
If the central and state government declares your area as a natural disaster-affected area and your crop is at a loss of 33% or more, then you have to go to the bank and report the loss of your crop and tell that the loan you took, your ability to repay it has been affected.
How much help do you get?
If your crop has suffered from 33 to 50%, then the bank will give an additional 2 years to repay your agricultural loan and no installment will have to be paid for the first year of these two years. On the other hand, if there is more than 50% loss to the crop, then the loan repayment period will increase by 5 years and no installment will have to be paid in the first year.
