Maharashtra extends e-crop survey deadline to November 30
Revenue Minister Chandrashekhar Bawankule announced that farmers can now complete the e-Pik Pahani process through offline options as well.
The Maharashtra state government has extended the deadline for the e-crop survey, known as e-Pik Pahani, to November 30, according to The Times of India.
Revenue Minister Chandrashekhar Bawankule said on Saturday in Nagpur that the government has also allowed farmers to complete the survey process offline.
Bawankule stated that crop surveys had been completed for 3.20 crore of the state's 3.45 crore farmers. He said the extension provides an opportunity for those who have yet to complete the process to register their crops.
Addressing crop insurance complaints, the minister said a cabinet sub-committee had resolved a large number of grievances with the participation of insurance company representatives.
The minister added that the government had submitted drought assessment reports to ensure farmers face no hurdles in receiving insurance benefits.
Bawankule also mentioned plans to improve access roads to agricultural fields under the Chief Minister Baliraja Pandan Road scheme, with MLAs appointed to facilitate implementation.
