In a significant boost to the agricultural community, Ahilyanagar district has seen over 2.59 lakh farmers secure a total of ₹1,472 crore in crop insurance for the kharif season. This initiative is part of a state government program designed to provide financial support to farmers facing challenges due to unpredictable monsoon weather.
