MP submits memorandum to Union Minister for Agriculture
Rajya Sabha Member of Parliament S. Selvaganabathy has submitted a memorandum to Union Minister for Agriculture and Farmers’ Welfare Narendra Singh Tomar in New Delhi seeking measures to expedite disbursal of pending crop insurance benefits to farmers in Puducherry and Karaikal regions.
The memorandum said that, to a large extent, the National Insurance Company Ltd., which had been engaged by the Agriculture Department for implementing the Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana, the crop insurance scheme for ryots, was to be blamed for the delay in rendering the benefits and appealed for directions to be issued to the agency to resolve the plight of struggling farmers in the region.
According to the memorandum, the NIC had not acted on numerous requests and reminders about resolution of several issues, and as a result, the Agriculture Department was facing much hardship in processing the applications and settling the claims to the farmers in time.
