We have made a budget provision of Rs 10 crores for vermicompost, if it is successful, then a plan of Rs 100 crores will also be made. Under this scheme, farmers of the state will be able to get vermicompost at Rs.8 per kg in their area only.

So far 12 lakh farmers of the state have been given a benefit of Rs 3500 per farmer. Along with this, an amount of Rs 810 crore has been distributed among 9.38 lakh farmers as benefit of crop Insurance in lieu of damage caused by drought.
