The State president of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and MP Nandkumar Singh Chouhan has said that the farmers’ loss would be estimated using satellite and not by Patwari.

Chouhan in a statement here on Sunday said that for the first time Modi Government has come up with such a strong crop insurance policy in the form of effective economic reform. The loss of farmers through disaster, sickness and infections will not be estimated by Patwari anymore. The satellite will determine the grade of the loss, thus prevent any partiality. On Rabi crop the insurance premium is 1.5 per cent and on Khareef crop the premium is 2 per cent. With the initial analysis of loss 25 per cent of the insured crop amount will be deposited in the farmers account, he added.

Chouhan further said that Madhya Pradesh party workers have decided to celebrate Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan’s birthday on March 5 as ‘Seva divas.’ He further said that they all will participate in the creative work and make the public feel their polite services.

He said that the government has decided to give 10 per cent discount on the loan amount taken for buying crop and seeds. For example a farmer takes a loan of one Rs lakh he will have to return only an amount of Rs 90 thousand. The real motive is to free the farmers from loans and bring in happiness in their lives, he added.

Chouhan further appealed to make the Mission-2018 successful under the leadership of Shivraj Singh Chouhan and bring the party fourth time into power under chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan’s leadership.
