The state government has declared drought in these talukas and introduced various relief measures and concessions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As per government directives, the administration has initiated crop damage assessments to identify affected farmers and facilitate relief measures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The eight talukas covered under the exercise are Bhor, Velhe, Khed, Shirur, Baramati, Indapur, Daund and Purandar. A total of 8,28,428 landholders across 1,102 villages have been included in the assessment process. Crop damage has been reported across 3,32,058 hectares in these areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to the latest assessment figures, crop damage assessments have been completed for 64,875 landholders covering 33,976.56 hectares.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Purandar has recorded completed assessments across 10,729 hectares, followed by Indapur at 6,687.61 hectares, Khed at 6,280 hectares and Daund at 5,459.16 hectares.
