Aazaad Parindey Kala Manch Educates Farmers on Crop Insurance through Engaging Nukkad Nataks

Jammu, July 12, 2025: Under the active guidance and supervision of its President, Mohit Singh, the theatre group Aazaad Parindey Kala Manch has embarked on a vital awareness campaign across rural Jammu. Utilizing the powerful and accessible medium of nukkad nataks, or street plays, the group is dedicated to informing villagers about the crucial details of the Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana (PMFBY) 2025. This significant crop insurance scheme, launched by the Government of India, is designed to provide a safety net for farmers by protecting them from devastating financial losses caused by unpredictable natural calamities.

The vibrant street plays, currently being performed in various villages across the Jammu region, are slated to extend their reach to Udhampur over the next four to five days. The performances are carefully crafted to resonate with the local populace, employing regional dialects and a relatable, emotionally engaging narrative style. Through compelling storytelling and live action, the artists effectively break down the complexities of the PMFBY, explaining step-by-step how farmers can avail compensation when their crops suffer damage due to adverse weather events like heavy rainfall, floods, storms, or other unforeseen disasters that can severely impact their livelihoods.

Beyond simply introducing the scheme, the nukkad nataks emphasize several critical aspects vital for farmers to benefit fully. Key messages woven into the performances stress the importance of timely registration under the scheme, the necessity of accurate and prompt reporting of crop losses when they occur, and highlighting the indispensable role that government-backed insurance plays in significantly minimizing the financial burden on farming families during times of crisis.

The awareness drive features impactful and dedicated performances by a talented team comprising Rishab Manhas, Aryan, Sheetal, Seema, and Aman. Their efforts on the ground have not gone unnoticed, eliciting a heartfelt and positive response from the villagers who have gathered to watch the plays. Many audience members expressed sincere appreciation for Aazaad Parindey Kala Manch’s initiative, acknowledging that the street plays served as an eye-opening experience, making them aware of essential government schemes designed for their welfare that they were previously uninformed about.

Driven by this encouraging reception, Aazaad Parindey Kala Manch is committed to the cause and plans to continue its vital awareness campaign in the coming weeks. The group aims to reach even more remote and rural areas, ensuring that the crucial message and benefits of the Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana penetrate every corner where farmers need this critical support the most.
