The Union Agriculture Ministry will virtually launch the beta version of its Farmer Grievance Redressal (FGR) portal as a pilot project in Chhattisgarh on Thursday. Chhattisgarh has been selected keeping in view the farmer friendly policies and programmes of the state government.
The Ministry has asked the Chhattisgarh Agriculture Production Commissioner to ensure online participation of agriculture department officials along with farmer representatives, farmers and Panchayats officials in this programme.
The FGR portal has been developed by the Agriculture Ministry for redressal of grievances of farmers across the country especially related to crop insurance.
After its successful implementation in Chhattisgarh, the same will be implemented across the country.
Through the portal, farmers will be able to get solutions to their problems related to farming, especially crop insurance. The problems and complaints reported by the farmers through telephone or mobile will be registered online in the portal. They will get information about their resolution online.
