Haryana launches e-compensation portal for farmers..

Haryana : In a significant move to support farmers in Haryana, the state government has launched an e-compensation portal, allowing farmers to apply for compensation for crop damage. This initiative follows an order from the Financial Commissioner Revenue (FCR), which instructed the Deputy Commissioners (DCs) of seven districts to send out messages to farmers, informing them about the new portal. The compensation being discussed is aimed at providing Rs. 50,000 per acre to farmers whose crops have been damaged due to unforeseen circumstances. This compensation is a part of the state government’s ongoing efforts to assist farmers in times of need and ensure that they are provided with financial relief in the event of natural calamities or other issues that impact their crops. The new e-compensation portal is expected to streamline the process, making it more accessible for farmers to claim their compensation without the need for manual paperwork or long waiting periods. The government has emphasized that the portal will ensure transparency and efficiency in processing claims, enabling farmers to receive compensation in a timely manner. The launch of the portal comes as a relief to farmers in the affected districts, as they have faced significant challenges in recent times due to various crop-damaging events. The move is also seen as part of Haryana’s larger efforts to modernize the agricultural sector and make the compensation process more transparent and accessible. The FCR’s letter to the DCs instructs them to ensure that all farmers are informed about the portal and that they are encouraged to apply for compensation if they meet the necessary criteria. This initiative is a step forward in the government’s commitment to supporting farmers and ensuring that they are financially protected in times of agricultural distress. As the portal becomes operational, it is expected to provide much-needed relief to the farming community and restore confidence in the state’s support systems.
