M.P. CM announces crop loss survey, financial aid for farmers in rain deficit Alirajpur district
Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav announced a crop loss survey in Alirajpur district on Sunday to provide financial assistance to farmers in the state's worst rain-deficit area. Addressing a Janjatiya Gaurav Diwas programme, the CM directed the District Collector to commence the survey and aid affected farmers as per Revenue Book Circular (RBC) 6-4.
Yadav assured the farmers that they will receive money in their accounts from the government. At least 11 districts in Madhya Pradesh have faced severe rainfall deficiency, severely impacting kharif crops like soybean, with Alirajpur, under the Nimar region, recording nearly 52% lower rainfall than normal. The government has not announced similar surveys in other affected districts, though officials claim discussions on relief measures are ongoing.
Earlier, CM and Governor Mangubhai Patel inaugurated a ₹1,353.18 crore Dahi Micro Lift Irrigation Project in Dhar's Dahi, aiming to provide irrigation to 47,000 hectares of agricultural land across 84 villages in Dhar and 42 in Alirajpur districts. The project is expected to benefit around a lakh farmers directly with its permanent irrigation facility.
Earlier this month, Yadav launched another micro-lift irrigation project worth around ₹2,400-crore in Dhar's Sardarpur.
