In a press release, Collector A. Arun Thamburaj said that extended holidays and rainfall had resulted in poor insurance coverage in Cuddalore district. Farmers should visit commercial banks, cooperative societies, and common service centres in their area for registration.
Necessary land documents, including seed sowing certification, and photocopy of bank passbook and Aadhaar card should be submitted for registration, he added.
