2021 protests
The protests in Khatgavhan have been sparked by the failure of the 'Agriculture Insurance Company of India' to provide farmers with the insurance compensation they were promised. Despite receiving a total insurance amount of 860 crores from both central and state governments, farmers have only received a fraction of it, amounting to just 13 crores. This disparity has led to widespread discontent among farmers, prompting strikes and hunger strikes organized by the Shetkari Sangharsha Samiti (Farmers' Struggle Committee) under the leadership of Gangabhishan Thaware. The protests have seen active participation from various farmers, demanding fair compensation for their losses.
