₹5 Lakh Insurance Cover for Farmers – Telangana

🌾 ₹5 Lakh Insurance Cover for Farmers – Telangana Government Scheme

The ₹5 Lakh Insurance Cover for Farmers Scheme, launched on 15 August 2018 by the Department of Agriculture, Government of Telangana, provides financial protection to farmers’ families in case of the farmer’s death — from any cause, natural or accidental.

Under this scheme, every farmer aged 18 to 60 years receives ₹5 lakh insurance coverage, and the nominee gets the compensation within just 10 days of the farmer’s death. The entire premium, amounting to nearly ₹500 crore annually, is paid by the Telangana State Government to the Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) — meaning farmers don’t pay a single rupee.
