Maharashtra Doubles Insurance for Dahi Handi Participants

In Maharashtra, the government is making sure the people who participate in the Dahi Handi celebrations are safe.

They're doubling the number of people who have insurance, so now 1.5 lakh 'Govindas' are covered.

If someone gets hurt badly, like if they lose a limb, they can get money to help them.

If someone sadly passes away, their family will receive financial support.

The insurance also pays for medical expenses.

The Govinda Association will check that everyone participating meets the requirements.
