Maharashtra Farmer Rain brought attention to the losses incurred by farmers in many areas as a result of unseasonable rainfall
After a video of a worried Maharashtra farmer went viral on social media, Union Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan talked with the farmer on Sunday. The farmer in Maharashtra was shown in the widely shared video fighting to shield his crop from intense, unusual rains.
The farmer’s widely shared video brought attention to the losses incurred by farmers in many areas as a result of unseasonable rainfall.
When the torrential rain started, the farmer in the film, Gaurav Panwar, had taken his peanut harvest to a grain sale in Washim, Maharashtra. A clearly helpless Panwar was seen attempting to save the produce with his own hands as the pouring rain threatened to wash everything away.
Shivaraj Singh Chouhan, the Union agricultural minister, was moved by this incident and contacted Panwar. Panwar was promised restitution for his damages by the ministry.
On X, Shivaraj Singh Chouhan posted a video of their chat in which the farmer disclosed the huge losses he had sustained.
Maharashtra Farmer Rain Prompts Swift Government Response and Public Support
The video hurt my feelings. Don’t worry, however. The government of Maharashtra takes the concerns of farmers extremely seriously. I have had conversations with the agricultural minister and chief minister of Maharashtra, Devendra Fadnavis. I have also had a conversation with the collector. Chouhan was heard stating, “Any losses that have occurred will be compensated so that you and your family don’t face any difficulties.”
“They will try to solve the issue by Monday,” he added. We’re all behind you.
After being wet from the rain, Panwar also informed the minister that he was ill.
