Post Offices are going to play a vital role in development of farmers
The Centre has decided to use 1.75 lakh Common Service Centres (CSC) and
post offices in a big way to encourage more non-loanee farmers to take
up crop insurance schemes such as Prime Minister Fasal Bima Yojna
(PMFBY) in 2017-18 crop year beginning July. At present, it is mandatory
for loanee farmers to take the crop insurance policy. CSCs, set up
under the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology, till now
were being utilised for booking railway tickets, providing Aadhaar
numbers and passport applications. Sources said the Government now wants
both loanee and non-loanee to take advantage of PMFBY as well as
weather-based crop insurance scheme.
