Maharashtra Flood Relief: ₹2,215 Crore Sanctioned
More Funds Sought from Centre - Comprehensive Relief Package for Affected Farmers and Districts
MUMBAI - The Maharashtra government has sanctioned a comprehensive ₹2,215 crore flood relief package to address the widespread damage caused by continuous rainfall across 31 districts. The state administration is simultaneously pursuing additional funding from the Central government to ensure complete rehabilitation and recovery from one of the most severe flooding crises in recent years.
The substantial relief allocation represents the state's immediate response to the agricultural catastrophe that has affected 50 lakh hectares of farmland and displaced thousands of families. The package encompasses farmer compensation, crop loss coverage, infrastructure repair, emergency relief measures, and long-term rehabilitation support for flood-affected communities.
Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar announced that while the ₹2,215 crore represents the largest single disaster relief package in Maharashtra's recent history, the scale of destruction necessitates additional central assistance. The state has formally requested enhanced financial support under the National Disaster Response Fund (NDRF) and State Disaster Response Fund (SDRF) mechanisms.
The relief distribution strategy prioritizes immediate cash assistance to farmers who have lost standing crops, followed by infrastructure restoration in affected districts. Special emphasis is being placed on Marathwada region districts including Solapur, Dharashiv, Beed, and Nanded, which have reported the most extensive agricultural and infrastructural damage.
Central government coordination is being facilitated through inter-ministerial consultations involving the Ministry of Agriculture, Ministry of Home Affairs, and Finance Ministry. Maharashtra's request for additional funds includes detailed damage assessment reports, district-wise loss calculations, and projected rehabilitation costs extending beyond the current fiscal year.
The implementation timeline for relief distribution has been accelerated to ensure that affected farmers receive assistance before the upcoming Kharif harvest season. The state administration has activated all district collectors and established special relief camps to expedite the processing and disbursement of compensation amounts across flood-affected regions.
