Assam State Disaster Relief - Crop Damage Compensation

Why it matters

Gives farmers some financial relief when floods — a recurring problem in Assam — damage their standing crops.

What you get

Given Assam's recurring exposure to flooding from the Brahmaputra and Barak river systems, the state administers crop-damage relief to affected farmers through the State Disaster Response Fund framework, supplementing central calamity relief funds. Farmers whose crops are damaged by notified floods or other natural calamities can receive a per-hectare compensation amount after joint inspection and assessment by revenue and agriculture officials, helping offset the immediate loss before the next sowing season.

Eligibility criteria

• Farmer whose standing crop was damaged by a government-notified flood/calamity in Assam
• Crop loss verified through joint inspection by revenue and agriculture officials
• Land records registered with the local revenue circle
