The Haryana government will launch on Friday an
insurance scheme, ‘Jokhim Prabandhan Aur Pashudhan Bima Yojana’, for the
cattle breeders.
Haryana Agriculture Minister O. P.
Dhankar on Thursday said under the scheme insurance cover would be
provided for cows, bulls, buffaloes and camel at a premium of Rs 100 and
for sheep, goats, pigs at Rs 25 for a period of three years.
The insurance companies would give compensation in case of death of animal.
The scheme is free of cost for cattle breeders belonging to the Scheduled Castes.
He
also accused the opposition parties of misleading people regarding the
‘Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana’, saying when the State government
introduced the scheme, the opposition was busy making statements
regarding insurance companies which everyone knows that they provide
every type of insurance cover.
