About Kisan Fasal Rahat Yojana

It is a compensation scheme aimed at providing security cover to Jharkhand farmers in case of crop damage due to natural calamity. It will cover both land owning and landless farmers. The Department of Agriculture, Animal Husbandry and Co-operative will be the implementing agency of the scheme. The Department will work in association with a project management unit, which will be a consultancy firm that will take care of technical requirements. Food safety, crop diversification, rapid development in agriculture and paving the way for competition are among the aims of the scheme. It is not an insurance scheme where premiums are paid. The damage due to wild animal attack and preventable risks such as unscientific farming by farmers will not be considered under the scheme.
