Nellore Farmers Urged to Enroll in WBCIS

Farmers in Nellore are being encouraged to sign up for a special insurance plan called WBCIS before July 31.

This plan, supported by both the state and central governments, helps protect their lemon orchards from bad weather like heatwaves and too much rain.

The insurance covers up to Rs 1,20,000 per hectare, and farmers need to pay a premium of Rs 2,429 per acre.

They can register through Village Secretariats or CSCs using their land certificates, bank details, and identity documents.

The insurance is being managed by IFFCO-Tokio General Insurance Company.
