The Haryana Government has introduced the Kshtipurti Portal to enable farmers to report crop damage caused by the recent unseasonal rains and hailstorms across different parts of the state. The effort has been initiated at the instance of Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini and aims to make it easy to collect information and distribute compensation to the affected individuals.

Farmers are asked to provide information about the extent of the damage to the crops through this portal so that it can assist the state government in evaluating the losses better. The main objective of this exercise is to see that farmers are provided with relief and compensation in a timely manner for the losses incurred due to the weather aberrations.

The Kshtipurti Portal will mechanize the settlement of claims and improve the pace at which the government can respond to farmers' needs. With real-time data from farmers being made accurately, the government can speed up compensation processes so that farmers are provided with necessary aid without unnecessary delay.

This scheme is among the efforts of the overall state government initiative among farmers and mitigating problems resulting from unseasonal weather. Apart from immediate relief, the government is also implementing long-term measures to battle the effects of such weather on agriculture.

All those affected by their lost crops are encouraged to utilize the portal by providing pertinent information of the damaged crops, i.e., type of crop lost, extent of damage suffered, and affected areas. In doing this, officials will be in a better position to evaluate the situation more accurately and direct support to affected individuals in their right time.

By opening the portal, the government of Haryana has enabled farmers to report loss and ensures they are not unduly burdened with processes. The portal is made easy and available to all farmers in impacted areas. The portal is set to save time on data gathering and claim processing, which will facilitate rapid response to the crisis.
