Delhi, <\/span>05 DEC 2023\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n

The Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana (PMFBY) is voluntary for States as well as for farmers.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0States\/UTs are free to subscribe under the scheme keeping in view their risk perception and financial considerations etc. Farmers are free to insure their crops as per their risk perception, provided the crops and area is notified by the concerned State Government\/UT Administration.\u00a0 Since inception of the scheme in 2016-17, 27 States\/Union Territories (UTs) implemented the scheme in one or more seasons.\u00a0 At present, States of Andhra Pradesh, Assam, Andaman & Nicobar Islands, Chhattisgarh, Goa, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Jammu & Kashmir, Karnataka, Kerala, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Manipur, Meghalaya, Odisha, Puducherry, Rajasthan, Sikkim, Tripura, Tamil Nadu, Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand are implementing the scheme.<\/p>\n

Though the scheme is voluntary for the farmers, more than 30% of the Gross Cropped Area (GCA) and non-loanee farmers of implementing States are covered under the scheme, which shows the acceptance of the scheme among farmers.<\/p>\n

The Government has taken several steps to create substantial awareness about the scheme amongst beneficiaries so that they can enroll themselves voluntarily under the scheme. The Government has made provisions to ensure availability of adequate funds for awareness of PMFBY. The revised Operational Guidelines for PMFBY which came into effect from 1st<\/sup>\u00a0October 2018 have inter-alia provided that the insurance companies should compulsorily spend atleast 0.5% of the total gross premium collected by them for Information, Education and Communication (IEC) activities.<\/p>\n

The Government has actively supported the awareness activities being carried out by the States, implementing Insurance Companies, financial institutions, and Common Service Centres (CSCs) network to disseminate key features of PMFBY amongst farmers and members of Panchayati Raj Institutions (PRIs).<\/p>\n

Further, a structured\u00a0<\/strong>awareness campaign \u2018Crop Insurance Week\/Fasal Bima Saptah\u2019 has been initiated by the Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare since Kharif 2021 season onwards. The core focus of the campaign is to increase the awareness about benefits of the scheme, sensitize the stakeholders and to increase overall enrolment of farmers, thereby helping them to reap the benefits of crop insurance with special focus on identified aspirational\/tribal districts.<\/p>\n

Along with this, Fasal Bima Pathshalas are also being organized at village\/GP level for knowledge building of farmers on various aspects of scheme implementation.<\/p>\n

Apart from this, other activities for awareness generation involve the publicity of key features and benefits of the scheme through advertisements in leading National and local newspapers, airing of audio-visual spots on regional \/ local channels, distribution of IEC material in local languages, dissemination of SMS through Kisan \/ National Crop Insurance Portal (NCIP) portal and organisation of online workshops of all stakeholders including farmers, Panchayat Members, and other key stakeholders.<\/p>\n

Government had also organized a nationwide Doorstep Crop Insurance Policy\/receipt Distribution mega drive \u2013 \u2018Meri Policy Mere Haath\u2019. Hard copies of crop insurance policy receipts are distributed to farmers enrolled under PMFBY through special camps at gram Panchayat\/village level. All implementing State\/UT Governments along with respective insurance companies have been organizing Gram Panchayat level mega policy distribution drive.<\/p>\n

As a result of these initiatives, number of farmer applications has grown by 33.4% and 41% year-on-year during 2022-23 and 2021-22, respectively. There is also significant growth of 28.9% in number of farmer applications and 24% in area insured under the scheme in Kharif season (upto November 2023) as compared to Kharif 2022.\u00a0State-wise details of number of farmer applications insured and area covered under the scheme during 2021-22 and 2022-23 are given in\u00a0Annexure –\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n
