About Gopinath Munde Shetkari Apghat Suraksha Sanugrah Audhan Yojana

1. Farm work exposes farmers to many kinds of accidents, and when the family’s earning head dies or is disabled, the family is left in serious financial difficulty. 1. Cover under the scheme runs round the clock, 24 hours a day, throughout the prescribed period. 1. Both registered account-holder farmers and any 1 member of the farmer’s family who is not a registered account holder stay eligible for benefits if either of them meets with an accident or disability. 1. The scheme has no link with any similar scheme run by another institution or by individual farmers; its benefit stands entirely on its own. 1. Apart from the documents listed in the Government Resolution (G.R.), nothing else needs to be submitted to claim the benefit.
