The Agriculture Department has modified the State crop insurance scheme to allow nominees to collect crop loss compensation in the event of the death of the farmer or if he/she is paralysed and bedridden.
Farmers are required to indicate their nominees when applying for membership in the scheme, a September 24 order issued by the department listing the modifications to the scheme guidelines said. In the aforementioned scenarios, the nominee can apply for and collect the amount.
