For the first time the projected income of farmers would be covered under insurance policy while kisan sabhas would be held at villages to apprise farmers.

Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has said that for the first time a crop insurance policy has been framed at the Central level which covers projected income of farmers.

Chouhan dedicated construction works costing Rs 42 crore 75 lakh including Day Shelter undertaken by Madhya Pradesh State Tourism Development Corporation (MPSTDC) and other works at Vidisha on Sunday.

Chouhan said that new crop insurance policy is farmer-friendly. In it, farmer's field is considered as a unit and now farmer's food grains will remain insured till they reach his house. He directed district administration to undertake wide publicity of the policy to enable every farmer to get its benefit and motivate them to opt for crop insurance. The Chief Minister urged farmers to grow crops of fruits, flowers and vegetables along with agriculture. He said that farmers should be counselled for this so that they can earn assured income. He said that arrangements of food processing will be made at Vidisha soon.

The Chief Minister urged the industrialists to establish units in Jambar Bagri industrial area in Vidisha district. On the occasion Chouhan distributed cheques and materials to beneficiaries of various State Government schemes.
