The Haryana government today approved a proposal to give farmers a bonus of Rs 2,000 per acre for their Kharif crops in view of less rainfall in the state. This decision was taken in the state cabinet meeting chaired by state CM Naib Singh Saini. He said that the state has received less rainfall in May, June and July this year as compared to last year. Due to less rainfall, farmers are having to bear higher costs for crops.
Bonus on Kharif Crops
The CM said that we will give bonus on all Kharif crops including fruits, flowers and vegetables. Farmers will be given Rs 2,000 per acre as bonus. Saini said that even if a farmer has less than one acre of land, he will be provided Rs 2,000.
