later while talking to the media, CM described the Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojna as an important scheme for the welfare of farmers and said that those who are opposing this scheme are not the well wishers of the farmers. The protest being made by INlD regarding this scheme is completely wrong, he said. He urged the farmers not to be misled by anyone and take maximum benefit of this scheme.
CM said that the Centre has implemented the Yojna to provide relief to the farmers for damage to crops caused due to natural calamity. 20 per cent farmers in the State have so far got their crops insured under this scheme, he added.
