should work for farmers
Kisan Mahapanchayat President Rampal Singh said that work should be done for the farmers. Farmers have raised many meaningful issues. Many things are happening under the leadership of the Prime Minister. Many decisions have been taken continuously in recent times. The interests of farmers, like flexibility in the Krishi Vikas Yojana, the provision that the scheme should work only for the state for which it is suitable, many such things have been worked on and many things need to be worked on.
He said, “Farmers have drawn attention towards many things including the crop insurance scheme. We will try to solve these problems with full seriousness.'' Answering the media's question, he said that there is no such compulsion in taking crop insurance claim; It should be voluntary among loanee and non-loanee farmers. It has been seen many times that if it is not voluntary then it is also brought under this scheme etc. Many things have been discussed.
