| description | Awareness campaigns became the key to insure crops of more than 3,300 farmers in Betul, Mathura and Nalanda for the Indian Government’s crop insurance scheme.
With the high susceptibility of agriculture to risks like droughts and floods, a mechanism to strengthen the social security of farmers becomes the need of the hour.
