&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;The state is considering rolling out its own insurance programme for farmers&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Maharashtra may follow several other big states and opt out Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana (PMFBY), the Narendra Modi government&amp;rsquo;s much-vaunted crop insurance scheme. India&amp;rsquo;s second-most populous state may replace the central scheme with its own &amp;mdash; a step already adopted by states like West Bengal.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Farmer groups have already flagged irregularities in PMFBY at a February 1, 2022 meeting with Maharashtra agriculture minister Dadaji Bhuse and department officials. They demanded a new state-level programme.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;A source at the state agriculture department told Down To Earth that stakeholders underscored their distress, which includes having to chase insurers to settle claims.&lt;br /&gt;
The ministry is considering their views, he said, adding:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The department officials are studying all models running in other states which have opted out. We will talk to their agriculture officials on their experience and the farmers&amp;rsquo; response.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The government is in an agreement with insurance companies under PMFBY, which will end by next year, he noted. &amp;ldquo;The state government can take steps then.&amp;rdquo;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;PMFBY insures farmers against all non-preventable natural risks from pre-sowing to post-harvest. Farmers have to pay a maximum of 2 per cent of the total premium of the insured amount for kharif crops, 1.5 per cent for rabi food crops and oilseeds as well as 5 per cent for commercial / horticultural crops.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The balance premium is shared by the Union and state governments on a 50:50 basis and on a 90:10 basis in the case of northeastern states. Claims are worked out on the basis of shortfall in actual yield, vis-a-vis the threshold yield in the notified area.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;However, despite the severity of crop loss due to extreme weather events increasing in recent years, the number of farmers opting for crop insurance has been declining. Andhra Pradesh, Jharkhand, Telangana, Bihar, Gujarat, Punjab and West Bengal &amp;mdash; all predominantly agriculture states &amp;mdash; have already opted out of the scheme. Some of these states have their own insurance schemes.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Farmer groups have already flagged irregularities in PMFBY at a February 1, 2022 meeting with Maharashtra agriculture minister Dadaji Bhuse and department officials. They demanded a new state-level programme.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;A source at the state agriculture department told Down To Earth that stakeholders underscored their distress, which includes having to chase insurers to settle claims.&lt;br /&gt;
The ministry is considering their views, he said, adding:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The department officials are studying all models running in other states which have opted out. We will talk to their agriculture officials on their experience and the farmers&amp;rsquo; response.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The government is in an agreement with insurance companies under PMFBY, which will end by next year, he noted. &amp;ldquo;The state government can take steps then.&amp;rdquo;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;PMFBY insures farmers against all non-preventable natural risks from pre-sowing to post-harvest. Farmers have to pay a maximum of 2 per cent of the total premium of the insured amount for kharif crops, 1.5 per cent for rabi food crops and oilseeds as well as 5 per cent for commercial / horticultural crops.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The balance premium is shared by the Union and state governments on a 50:50 basis and on a 90:10 basis in the case of northeastern states. Claims are worked out on the basis of shortfall in actual yield, vis-a-vis the threshold yield in the notified area.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;However, despite the severity of crop loss due to extreme weather events increasing in recent years, the number of farmers opting for crop insurance has been declining. Andhra Pradesh, Jharkhand, Telangana, Bihar, Gujarat, Punjab and West Bengal &amp;mdash; all predominantly agriculture states &amp;mdash; have already opted out of the scheme. Some of these states have their own insurance schemes.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The government is in an agreement with insurance companies under PMFBY, which will end by next year, he noted. &amp;ldquo;The state government can take steps then.&amp;rdquo;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;PMFBY insures farmers against all non-preventable natural risks from pre-sowing to post-harvest. Farmers have to pay a maximum of 2 per cent of the total premium of the insured amount for kharif crops, 1.5 per cent for rabi food crops and oilseeds as well as 5 per cent for commercial / horticultural crops.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The balance premium is shared by the Union and state governments on a 50:50 basis and on a 90:10 basis in the case of northeastern states. Claims are worked out on the basis of shortfall in actual yield, vis-a-vis the threshold yield in the notified area.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;However, despite the severity of crop loss due to extreme weather events increasing in recent years, the number of farmers opting for crop insurance has been declining. Andhra Pradesh, Jharkhand, Telangana, Bihar, Gujarat, Punjab and West Bengal &amp;mdash; all predominantly agriculture states &amp;mdash; have already opted out of the scheme. Some of these states have their own insurance schemes.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

Maharashtra may become 8th state to opt out of Centre's flagship crop insurance scheme -Shagun

-Down to Earth The state is considering rolling out its own insurance programme for farmers Maharashtra may follow several other big states and opt out Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana (PMFBY), the Narendra Modi government’s much-vaunted crop insurance scheme. India’s second-most populous state may replace the central scheme with its own — a step already adopted by states like West Bengal. Farmer groups have already flagged irregularities in PMFBY at a February 1, 2022 meeting with Maharashtra agriculture minister Dadaji Bhuse and department officials. They demanded a new state-level programme. A source at the state agriculture department told Down To Earth that stakeholders underscored their distress, which includes having to chase insurers to settle claims. The ministry is considering their views, he said, adding:  The department officials are studying all models running in other states which have opted out. We will talk to their agriculture officials on their experience and the farmers’ response. The government is in an agreement with insurance companies under PMFBY, which will end by next year, he noted. “The state government can take steps then.”  PMFBY insures farmers against all non-preventable natural risks from pre-sowing to post-harvest. Farmers have to pay a maximum of 2 per cent of the total premium of the insured amount for kharif crops, 1.5 per cent for rabi food crops and oilseeds as well as 5 per cent for commercial / horticultural crops.  The balance premium is shared by the Union and state governments on a 50:50 basis and on a 90:10 basis in the case of northeastern states. Claims are worked out on the basis of shortfall in actual yield, vis-a-vis the threshold yield in the notified area.  However, despite the severity of crop loss due to extreme weather events increasing in recent years, the number of farmers opting for crop insurance has been declining. Andhra Pradesh, Jharkhand, Telangana, Bihar, Gujarat, Punjab and West Bengal — all predominantly agriculture states — have already opted out of the scheme. Some of these states have their own insurance schemes.  Please click here to read more.
