A Maharashtra farmer was shocked to receive only Rs 2.30 as compensation for crop damage caused by unseasonal rainfall, despite being eligible for Rs 1.53 lakh under the Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana. Officials claim the minimal amount was due to a technical error related to an earlier claim from 2023, while the farmer struggles with severe crop losses and fodder shortages for livestock.
