He said, "Despite several recommendations made by MS Swaminathan and Ashok Gulati committee to streamline the crop insurance scheme, the Center is silent." The entire village or mandal is affected.” A section of farmers who suffer losses in a village in the mandal are deprived of crop insurance benefits. Farmers are fed up and are reluctant to pay the premium as they are not able to get the benefit of the insurance scheme.

Telangana government will provide all possible assistance to the affected farmers who have suffered losses.
