&lt;em&gt;The number of farmers covered under prime minister&amp;rsquo;s crop insurance scheme fell to 47.9 million in 2017-18, from a high of 57.5 million the year before, a sharp decline of 17% in just a year&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
New Delhi: &lt;/em&gt;Despite the centre pumping more funds into its flagship crop insurance scheme, coverage among farmers is on the decline, according to figures released on Tuesday, indicating a decline in interest among farmers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The number of farmers (or farm holdings) covered under the prime minister&amp;rsquo;s crop insurance scheme fell to 47.9 million in 2017-18, from a high of 57.5 million the year before, a sharp decline of 17% in just a year, the government informed the Lok Sabha on Tuesday. The data further shows that while coverage among loanee farmers fell to 35 million in 2017-18 from 44 million the year before, coverage of non-loanee farmers fell marginally from 14 million to 13 million during this period.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2016 and 2017, overall, the south-west monsoon which irrigates over half of India&amp;rsquo;s crop area was near normal, meaning rainfall had little role to play in determining insurance uptake by farmers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While the total number of holdings declined sharply over the past year, gross premium collected by insurance companies in 2017-18 is estimated at Rs24,352 crore, up 9.8% from Rs22,180 crore the year before, the government told the Rajya Sabha on 9 March.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;It is unlikely that insurance coverage in terms of gross cropped area will improve in 2017-18 over the 30% coverage achieved in 2016-17,&amp;rdquo; said a top official with an insurance company who did not want to be named. &amp;ldquo;Achieving the government&amp;rsquo;s target of covering 50% of gross cropped area by 2018-19 will be a herculean task,&amp;rdquo; the person quoted above added.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The official said that less than 40% of the premium due from state governments has reached insurance companies and that farmers are suffering due to the delay. Interestingly, the centre is yet to calculate the total claims filed by farmers in the current year ending March (2017-18), indicating long delays in settlement of claims.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;The growth rate in agriculture credit fell sharply in the past few years... and due to rising indebtedness and delays in loan repayment by farmers expecting to benefit from loan waivers, it could be that banks are issuing less fresh loans. This could be bringing down the number of loanee accounts and therefore, the (mandatory) crop insurance enrolment numbers,&amp;rdquo; said Himanshu, associate professor of economics at Jawaharlal Nehru University, Delhi.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;em&gt;The number of farmers covered under prime minister&amp;rsquo;s crop insurance scheme fell to 47.9 million in 2017-18, from a high of 57.5 million the year before, a sharp decline of 17% in just a year&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
New Delhi: &lt;/em&gt;Despite the centre pumping more funds into its flagship crop insurance scheme, coverage among farmers is on the decline, according to figures released on Tuesday, indicating a decline in interest among farmers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The number of farmers (or farm holdings) covered under the prime minister&amp;rsquo;s crop insurance scheme fell to 47.9 million in 2017-18, from a high of 57.5 million the year before, a sharp decline of 17% in just a year, the government informed the Lok Sabha on Tuesday. The data further shows that while coverage among loanee farmers fell to 35 million in 2017-18 from 44 million the year before, coverage of non-loanee farmers fell marginally from 14 million to 13 million during this period.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2016 and 2017, overall, the south-west monsoon which irrigates over half of India&amp;rsquo;s crop area was near normal, meaning rainfall had little role to play in determining insurance uptake by farmers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While the total number of holdings declined sharply over the past year, gross premium collected by insurance companies in 2017-18 is estimated at Rs24,352 crore, up 9.8% from Rs22,180 crore the year before, the government told the Rajya Sabha on 9 March.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;It is unlikely that insurance coverage in terms of gross cropped area will improve in 2017-18 over the 30% coverage achieved in 2016-17,&amp;rdquo; said a top official with an insurance company who did not want to be named. &amp;ldquo;Achieving the government&amp;rsquo;s target of covering 50% of gross cropped area by 2018-19 will be a herculean task,&amp;rdquo; the person quoted above added.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;em&gt;The number of farmers covered under prime minister&amp;rsquo;s crop insurance scheme fell to 47.9 million in 2017-18, from a high of 57.5 million the year before, a sharp decline of 17% in just a year&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
New Delhi: &lt;/em&gt;Despite the centre pumping more funds into its flagship crop insurance scheme, coverage among farmers is on the decline, according to figures released on Tuesday, indicating a decline in interest among farmers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The number of farmers (or farm holdings) covered under the prime minister&amp;rsquo;s crop insurance scheme fell to 47.9 million in 2017-18, from a high of 57.5 million the year before, a sharp decline of 17% in just a year, the government informed the Lok Sabha on Tuesday. The data further shows that while coverage among loanee farmers fell to 35 million in 2017-18 from 44 million the year before, coverage of non-loanee farmers fell marginally from 14 million to 13 million during this period.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2016 and 2017, overall, the south-west monsoon which irrigates over half of India&amp;rsquo;s crop area was near normal, meaning rainfall had little role to play in determining insurance uptake by farmers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While the total number of holdings declined sharply over the past year, gross premium collected by insurance companies in 2017-18 is estimated at Rs24,352 crore, up 9.8% from Rs22,180 crore the year before, the government told the Rajya Sabha on 9 March.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;It is unlikely that insurance coverage in terms of gross cropped area will improve in 2017-18 over the 30% coverage achieved in 2016-17,&amp;rdquo; said a top official with an insurance company who did not want to be named. &amp;ldquo;Achieving the government&amp;rsquo;s target of covering 50% of gross cropped area by 2018-19 will be a herculean task,&amp;rdquo; the person quoted above added.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The official said that less than 40% of the premium due from state governments has reached insurance companies and that farmers are suffering due to the delay. Interestingly, the centre is yet to calculate the total claims filed by farmers in the current year ending March (2017-18), indicating long delays in settlement of claims.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;The growth rate in agriculture credit fell sharply in the past few years... and due to rising indebtedness and delays in loan repayment by farmers expecting to benefit from loan waivers, it could be that banks are issuing less fresh loans. This could be bringing down the number of loanee accounts and therefore, the (mandatory) crop insurance enrolment numbers,&amp;rdquo; said Himanshu, associate professor of economics at Jawaharlal Nehru University, Delhi.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;em&gt;The number of farmers covered under prime minister&amp;rsquo;s crop insurance scheme fell to 47.9 million in 2017-18, from a high of 57.5 million the year before, a sharp decline of 17% in just a year&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
New Delhi: &lt;/em&gt;Despite the centre pumping more funds into its flagship crop insurance scheme, coverage among farmers is on the decline, according to figures released on Tuesday, indicating a decline in interest among farmers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The number of farmers (or farm holdings) covered under the prime minister&amp;rsquo;s crop insurance scheme fell to 47.9 million in 2017-18, from a high of 57.5 million the year before, a sharp decline of 17% in just a year, the government informed the Lok Sabha on Tuesday. The data further shows that while coverage among loanee farmers fell to 35 million in 2017-18 from 44 million the year before, coverage of non-loanee farmers fell marginally from 14 million to 13 million during this period.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2016 and 2017, overall, the south-west monsoon which irrigates over half of India&amp;rsquo;s crop area was near normal, meaning rainfall had little role to play in determining insurance uptake by farmers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While the total number of holdings declined sharply over the past year, gross premium collected by insurance companies in 2017-18 is estimated at Rs24,352 crore, up 9.8% from Rs22,180 crore the year before, the government told the Rajya Sabha on 9 March.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;It is unlikely that insurance coverage in terms of gross cropped area will improve in 2017-18 over the 30% coverage achieved in 2016-17,&amp;rdquo; said a top official with an insurance company who did not want to be named. &amp;ldquo;Achieving the government&amp;rsquo;s target of covering 50% of gross cropped area by 2018-19 will be a herculean task,&amp;rdquo; the person quoted above added.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The official said that less than 40% of the premium due from state governments has reached insurance companies and that farmers are suffering due to the delay. Interestingly, the centre is yet to calculate the total claims filed by farmers in the current year ending March (2017-18), indicating long delays in settlement of claims.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;The growth rate in agriculture credit fell sharply in the past few years... and due to rising indebtedness and delays in loan repayment by farmers expecting to benefit from loan waivers, it could be that banks are issuing less fresh loans. This could be bringing down the number of loanee accounts and therefore, the (mandatory) crop insurance enrolment numbers,&amp;rdquo; said Himanshu, associate professor of economics at Jawaharlal Nehru University, Delhi.&lt;br /&gt;

<em>The number of farmers covered under prime minister&rsquo;s crop insurance scheme fell to 47.9 million in 2017-18, from a high of 57.5 million the year before, a sharp decline of 17% in just a year<br />
<br />
New Delhi: </em>Despite the centre pumping more funds into its flagship crop insurance scheme, coverage among farmers is on the decline, according to figures released on Tuesday, indicating a decline in interest among farmers.<br />
<br />
The number of farmers (or farm holdings) covered under the prime minister&rsquo;s crop insurance scheme fell to 47.9 million in 2017-18, from a high of 57.5 million the year before, a sharp decline of 17% in just a year, the government informed the Lok Sabha on Tuesday. The data further shows that while coverage among loanee farmers fell to 35 million in 2017-18 from 44 million the year before, coverage of non-loanee farmers fell marginally from 14 million to 13 million during this period.<br />
<br />
In 2016 and 2017, overall, the south-west monsoon which irrigates over half of India&rsquo;s crop area was near normal, meaning rainfall had little role to play in determining insurance uptake by farmers.<br />
<br />
While the total number of holdings declined sharply over the past year, gross premium collected by insurance companies in 2017-18 is estimated at Rs24,352 crore, up 9.8% from Rs22,180 crore the year before, the government told the Rajya Sabha on 9 March.<br />
<br />
&ldquo;It is unlikely that insurance coverage in terms of gross cropped area will improve in 2017-18 over the 30% coverage achieved in 2016-17,&rdquo; said a top official with an insurance company who did not want to be named. &ldquo;Achieving the government&rsquo;s target of covering 50% of gross cropped area by 2018-19 will be a herculean task,&rdquo; the person quoted above added.<br />
<br />
The official said that less than 40% of the premium due from state governments has reached insurance companies and that farmers are suffering due to the delay. Interestingly, the centre is yet to calculate the total claims filed by farmers in the current year ending March (2017-18), indicating long delays in settlement of claims.<br />
<br />
&ldquo;The growth rate in agriculture credit fell sharply in the past few years... and due to rising indebtedness and delays in loan repayment by farmers expecting to benefit from loan waivers, it could be that banks are issuing less fresh loans. This could be bringing down the number of loanee accounts and therefore, the (mandatory) crop insurance enrolment numbers,&rdquo; said Himanshu, associate professor of economics at Jawaharlal Nehru University, Delhi.<br />
