On December 11, 2025, Vijay Bhau Rahangdale, a popular farmer leader, presented a petition to Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, requesting a bonus per quintal for rice farmers during the 2025 Kharif season. The petition highlights the struggles faced by farmers in the Gondiya district, where 90% of farmers rely on rice cultivation. These farmers have been enduring irregular rainfall, rising production costs, and increasing input prices, making their livelihoods precarious. The bonus is seen as crucial to support these farmers and stabilize their economic situation, encouraging better planning for the upcoming season and boosting their morale.
