The proposed inclusion of flooding in PMFBY guidelines could provide much-needed financial relief to paddy farmers in Tripura, particularly those in low-lying areas prone to heavy rainfall and flooding. Without this change, farmers may continue to face significant economic losses without adequate compensation. Additionally, the state’s push for hybrid paddy cultivation and organic farming could improve agricultural yields and sustainability, but these efforts require consistent funding and resource allocation. The lack of insurance coverage for flood-related crop damage remains a critical risk for the region’s predominantly small and marginal farmers.
