The Jharkhand State Crop Relief Scheme (JRFRY) is a compensation scheme for farmers in the event of crop damage. The scheme was launched by the Government of Jharkhand in 2016.
The JRFRY is a non-contributory scheme, which means that farmers do not have to pay any premium to avail of the benefits of the scheme.
The JRFRY provides financial assistance to farmers who have suffered crop damage due to natural calamities, such as floods, droughts, and hailstorms. The scheme also provides financial assistance to farmers who have suffered crop damage due to pests and diseases.
The amount of financial assistance that a farmer can receive under the JRFRY is based on the extent of crop damage. The maximum amount of financial assistance that a farmer can receive is Rs. 2 lakh.
To avail of the benefits of the JRFRY, farmers need to submit an application to the district agricultural officer. The application form can be obtained from the district agricultural office.
The application form must be submitted along with the following documents:
- Proof of identity
- Proof of residence
- Proof of crop damage
The district agricultural officer will assess the application and will decide whether the farmer is eligible for the benefits of the JRFRY.
If the farmer is found to be eligible for the benefits of the JRFRY, the district agricultural officer will sanction the financial assistance.
The financial assistance will be credited to the farmer’s bank account.
The JRFRY is a very important scheme for farmers in Jharkhand. The scheme provides much-needed financial assistance to farmers who have suffered crop damage. The scheme has helped to reduce the financial burden on farmers and has helped to improve their resilience to natural calamities.
If you are a farmer in Jharkhand, you can apply for the JRFRY at your nearest district agricultural office.
