Farmers in Rewa district, who paid insurance premium for their crops, are running from pillar to post after suffering damages because there is no provision of seeking claim against loss on account of drought."I paid Rs2,667 to Agriculture Insurance Company of India Limited against crop insurance on July 9. I went for soybean cultivation on majority of the four hectares of land with some parts for pulses," said Anand Kumar Sharma of Chachai village."There was excessive rain in our district in July-end and early August. But, since then there has been no shower and crops were damaged. When I tried to get claim against the loss, I was baffled to see that there is no option if damage is due to drought," he said.The form that farmers use for making claims has provision only if crop is damaged due to storm, heavy rain, unseasonal rain, landslide, hail or water logging."On contacting district collector, I was directed to district agriculture officer who asked me to write a complaint to the insurance company. I do not know what to do," Sharma said. Company officials say norms are same across the country. Source - http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com
