Atchannaidu, Finance Minister Payyavula Keshav, and Civil Supplies Minister Nadendla Manohar have instructed officials to ensure justice for farmers who have suffered crop losses due to recent natural disasters. They emphasized the need to implement a crop insurance scheme for all farmers in the state and indicated that the alliance government would assess the application of this scheme for mango farmers.
The ministers conducted a review meeting with agriculture and horticulture officials at the Secretariat on Monday. Following the meeting, they informed the media that, in line with directives from the Union Government, the state should adopt an effective crop insurance scheme.
