Haryana SGRC Orders Rs 255 Crore Crop Insurance Payout to Cotton Farmers
The Haryana State Grievances Redressal Committee (SGRC) has directed Kshema General Insurance Company to settle nearly Rs 255 crore in crop insurance claims for cotton farmers in Bhiwani and Charkhi Dadri. This follows over a year of farmer protests against technology-based yield estimates used for the 2023 kharif season. The SGRC ruled claims should be based on actual average yields from Crop Cutting Experiments. Farmers will receive about Rs 213 crore in Bhiwani and Rs 42 crore in Charkhi Dadri, resolving disputes involving over 290 insurance units.
