Congress Played a Cruel Joke on Farmers, Giving Cheques of Just Rs 2-5 as Compensation – Nayab Singh Saini
In the Last 11 Years, Haryana Government Has Provided Rs 15,448 Crore to Farmers for Crop Loss and Under the PMFBY – Chief Minister
Rs 358.62 Crore Released to Millet Farmers Under the Bhavantar Bharpai Yojana
Chandigarh, 10 December 2025
Providing substantial relief to the farmers of Haryana, Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini today released a total compensation of Rs 116.15 crore to 53,821 farmers for crop losses caused by heavy rains in August-September. Agriculture and Farmers Welfare Minister Shyam Singh Rana was also present on the occasion.
Addressing a press conference here, the Chief Minister stated that the compensation released today includes Rs 35.29 crore for millet, Rs 27.43 crore for cotton, Rs 22.91 crore for paddy, and Rs 14.10 crore for guar. The disbursement has begun immediately, and the entire amount will be credited to the accounts of beneficiary farmers within the next week.
He explained that the heavy rains in August-September last year had caused flooding in several districts, and he personally visited the affected areas to assess the situation. The e-Kshatipurti portal, which was opened on September 15, invited farmers to submit details of crop damage to facilitate timely compensation.
The Chief Minister said that three districts suffered the most significant losses: Charkhi Dadri received Rs 23.55 crore, Hisar Rs 17.82 crore, and Bhiwani Rs 12.15 crore. He also mentioned that earlier, the government had already released Rs 4.72 crore to compensate for livestock losses, house damage, and other essential items affected by the floods.
He further stated that a total of 5,29,199 farmers had registered 31 lakh acres of land on the e-Kshatipurti portal for natural disaster-related crop losses during the 2025 Kharif season. After verification, damage was confirmed on 1,20,380 acres belonging to 53,821 farmers.
Government Stands with Farmers in Every Situation
Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini stated that the Haryana government stands shoulder to shoulder with farmers and ensures compensation for any losses they incur. In line with this commitment, the government has been providing timely compensation to farmers for crop loss over the past 11 years. Under the PMFBY, an amount of Rs 15,448 crore has been disbursed to support farmers in the state.
Congress played cruel joke on farmers, giving them cheques of 2-5 rupees in the name of compensation
Targeting the opposition, Chief Minister stated that the Congress government had played a cruel joke on farmers. During their regime, Patwaris did not conduct proper verification on the ground, resulting in farmers not receiving full compensation. Even those who were compensated were given cheques of just 2 to 5 rupees. Over the 10-year rule of the Congress government, a total of Rs 1,138 crore was released as compensation.
He added that the Congress government failed to pay Rs 269 crore of compensation to farmers. After the Bharatiya Janata Party came to power in 2014, the state government ensured that in 2015, this Rs 269 crore from the previous government was transferred directly to farmers’ accounts.
Chief Minister stated that, addressing accountability, six Patwaris were suspended for negligence in verifying crop losses during the 2025 Kharif season. He emphasized that the state government has a clear agenda: it is accountable to every citizen, and strict action will be taken against anyone found negligent or erring in their duties.
Rs 358.62 Crore Released to Millet Farmers under Bhavantar Bharpai Yojana
Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini stated that millet was included in the Bhavantar Bharpai Yojana during the 2021 Kharif season to ensure fair prices for millet farmers in the state. Keeping farmers’ interests in mind, the purchase of millet for the 2025-26 Kharif season began on September 23, 2025.
He explained that to ensure farmers receive a fair price for their crops, the government decided to provide benefits at the rate of Rs 575 per quintal under the Millet Bhavantar Bharpai Yojana. Under this initiative, an amount of Rs 358.62 crore has been released today to 1,57,000 farmers in the state. Disbursement has begun immediately, and the full amount will be credited to the accounts of beneficiary farmers within the next week.
The Chief Minister further stated that a total of 6,23,000 metric tons of millet was procured this season. So far, farmers have received Rs 927 crore as millet price difference, and with today’s release, the total compensation has reached Rs 1,285.62 crore.
Financial Commissioner and ACS Revenue and Disaster Management Department, Dr. Sumita Misra, Additional Chief Secretary of Town and Country Planning Department AK Singh, Principal Secretary to the Chief Minister Arun Kumar Gupta, Additional Chief Secretary of Cooperation Department Vijendra Kumar, Special Secretary of Revenue and Disaster Management Department Prabhjot Singh, Director of Agriculture Department Rajnarayan Kaushik, Director of Town and Country Planning Department Amit Khatri, Deputy Principal Secretary to the Chief Minister Yash Pal, Director General of Information, Public Relations, Language and Culture Department Parth Gupta, Additional Director (Administration) Varsha Khangwal, Media Secretary to the Chief Minister Praveen Attrey were also present.
