Farmers in Rajnandgaon district can now insure their Kharif crops under the Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana (PMFBY) until August 14, 2026, following an extension of the enrollment deadline. The earlier deadline of July 31, 2026 has been extended, allowing both loanee and non-loanee farmers additional time to avail themselves of the crop insurance scheme.

Deputy Director of Agriculture Tikam Singh Thakur said the PMFBY serves as a crucial financial safety net for farmers against unpredictable weather conditions. The scheme provides compensation for crop losses caused by natural calamities such as drought, floods, waterlogging, hailstorms, and other weather-related disasters.
