The Maharashtra government has approved a relief package of Rs 86.65 crore to assist farmers in Nashik, Ahilyanagar, and Jalgaon districts who suffered crop losses due to heavy rainfall and strong winds during the Kharif 2025 season. The funding, announced by Relief and Rehabilitation Minister Makarand Jadhav-Patil, is a special measure following a July 2 cabinet decision.

Officials are instructed to prevent duplicate payments to those already receiving assistance for the same season. Verification procedures have been emphasized to avoid administrative delays. The ministry stressed that the allocation follows established eligibility criteria and norms, and farmers must meet these requirements to receive the funds.
