Under this scheme, a maximum insurance compensation of Rs 10 Lakh is given in the event of the death of a Govinda during the celebration. This decision was made exactly a month before the Dahi Handi festival, so that the youth and their families participating in the event could get spiritual and economic safety.

A senior state minister said: “Safety of our Govindas is the priority of the government. This insurance scheme is an important step in increasing their morale and making the opportunity safe.” Background of the event: Dahi Handi festival is a festival that shows the pastime of Lord Krishna’s child form, especially in Maharashtra, especially in Mumbai, Thane, Pune and Nashik. On this day, the group of young Govindas goes out in the streets with singing and music and climbs each other’s shoulders and makes pyramids.
