The Agriculture Department has been encouraging farmers to make use of crop-insurance schemes for seasonal cultivation. Paddy growers can use crop insurance to obtain financial protection against eligible crop losses and specified agricultural risks. Farmers are encouraged to complete enrolment within the announced deadlines for their respective seasons. Common Service Centres, cooperative societies and banks can assist farmers with enrolment. Crop insurance provides an important safety net for farming families facing uncertain weather and crop conditions. The district’s horticulture department records extensive cultivation across the district, including paddy and several horticultural crops.
