&lt;em&gt;Centre is soon going to issue a revised set of guidelines to address current challenges faced by the crop insurance scheme, says Ashish Bhutani, joint secretary at the agriculture ministry&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
New Delhi: &lt;/em&gt;The prime minister&amp;rsquo;s flagship crop insurance scheme, which has seen an impressive rise in coverage and sum assured since its launch in 2016, is facing a number of challenges that are delaying claim settlements for farmers, a senior agriculture ministry official said on Wednesday.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana (PMFBY) has seen a substantial rise in coverage and sum assured despite 2016-17 being a normal monsoon year but after nearly four seasons of implementation, several challenges have cropped up, Ashish Bhutani, joint secretary at the agriculture ministry, told a national conference on agriculture insurance organized by industry lobby Ficci.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;The biggest challenge we face is the conduct of crop cutting experiments which many states are unable to do in a short window of time,&amp;rdquo; Bhutani said. Companies have also objected to possible fudging in crop cutting experiments (used to estimate losses), &amp;ldquo;so we have put in the provision of companies co-observing these experiments,&amp;rdquo; he added.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;There are gaps in many states in implementing the guidelines of the scheme in letter and spirit... and those have led to payment delays (to farmers) in certain states,&amp;rdquo; Bhutani said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He said a lack of historical data has hiked up premiums in some areas, and states are not doing enough to provide data to companies. &amp;ldquo;Another issue which is a challenge for us is the delay in release of subsidies (towards premium) by state governments which is delaying payment of claims to farmers,&amp;rdquo; Bhutani said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bhutani, who is steering the flagship scheme at the centre, also said the ministry is ready with a new portal which will ensure transparency and end-to-end implementation of the scheme from communication between states and companies to claim settlement. &amp;ldquo;The government is soon going to issue a revised set of guidelines to address current challenges and we are also thinking of setting up a dispute resolution mechanism to resolve conflicts between state governments and companies,&amp;rdquo; he said.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;em&gt;Centre is soon going to issue a revised set of guidelines to address current challenges faced by the crop insurance scheme, says Ashish Bhutani, joint secretary at the agriculture ministry&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
New Delhi: &lt;/em&gt;The prime minister&amp;rsquo;s flagship crop insurance scheme, which has seen an impressive rise in coverage and sum assured since its launch in 2016, is facing a number of challenges that are delaying claim settlements for farmers, a senior agriculture ministry official said on Wednesday.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana (PMFBY) has seen a substantial rise in coverage and sum assured despite 2016-17 being a normal monsoon year but after nearly four seasons of implementation, several challenges have cropped up, Ashish Bhutani, joint secretary at the agriculture ministry, told a national conference on agriculture insurance organized by industry lobby Ficci.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;The biggest challenge we face is the conduct of crop cutting experiments which many states are unable to do in a short window of time,&amp;rdquo; Bhutani said. Companies have also objected to possible fudging in crop cutting experiments (used to estimate losses), &amp;ldquo;so we have put in the provision of companies co-observing these experiments,&amp;rdquo; he added.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;There are gaps in many states in implementing the guidelines of the scheme in letter and spirit... and those have led to payment delays (to farmers) in certain states,&amp;rdquo; Bhutani said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He said a lack of historical data has hiked up premiums in some areas, and states are not doing enough to provide data to companies. &amp;ldquo;Another issue which is a challenge for us is the delay in release of subsidies (towards premium) by state governments which is delaying payment of claims to farmers,&amp;rdquo; Bhutani said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bhutani, who is steering the flagship scheme at the centre, also said the ministry is ready with a new portal which will ensure transparency and end-to-end implementation of the scheme from communication between states and companies to claim settlement. &amp;ldquo;The government is soon going to issue a revised set of guidelines to address current challenges and we are also thinking of setting up a dispute resolution mechanism to resolve conflicts between state governments and companies,&amp;rdquo; he said.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;em&gt;Centre is soon going to issue a revised set of guidelines to address current challenges faced by the crop insurance scheme, says Ashish Bhutani, joint secretary at the agriculture ministry&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
New Delhi: &lt;/em&gt;The prime minister&amp;rsquo;s flagship crop insurance scheme, which has seen an impressive rise in coverage and sum assured since its launch in 2016, is facing a number of challenges that are delaying claim settlements for farmers, a senior agriculture ministry official said on Wednesday.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana (PMFBY) has seen a substantial rise in coverage and sum assured despite 2016-17 being a normal monsoon year but after nearly four seasons of implementation, several challenges have cropped up, Ashish Bhutani, joint secretary at the agriculture ministry, told a national conference on agriculture insurance organized by industry lobby Ficci.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;The biggest challenge we face is the conduct of crop cutting experiments which many states are unable to do in a short window of time,&amp;rdquo; Bhutani said. Companies have also objected to possible fudging in crop cutting experiments (used to estimate losses), &amp;ldquo;so we have put in the provision of companies co-observing these experiments,&amp;rdquo; he added.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;There are gaps in many states in implementing the guidelines of the scheme in letter and spirit... and those have led to payment delays (to farmers) in certain states,&amp;rdquo; Bhutani said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He said a lack of historical data has hiked up premiums in some areas, and states are not doing enough to provide data to companies. &amp;ldquo;Another issue which is a challenge for us is the delay in release of subsidies (towards premium) by state governments which is delaying payment of claims to farmers,&amp;rdquo; Bhutani said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bhutani, who is steering the flagship scheme at the centre, also said the ministry is ready with a new portal which will ensure transparency and end-to-end implementation of the scheme from communication between states and companies to claim settlement. &amp;ldquo;The government is soon going to issue a revised set of guidelines to address current challenges and we are also thinking of setting up a dispute resolution mechanism to resolve conflicts between state governments and companies,&amp;rdquo; he said.&lt;br /&gt;

<em>Centre is soon going to issue a revised set of guidelines to address current challenges faced by the crop insurance scheme, says Ashish Bhutani, joint secretary at the agriculture ministry<br />
<br />
New Delhi: </em>The prime minister&rsquo;s flagship crop insurance scheme, which has seen an impressive rise in coverage and sum assured since its launch in 2016, is facing a number of challenges that are delaying claim settlements for farmers, a senior agriculture ministry official said on Wednesday.<br />
<br />
The Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana (PMFBY) has seen a substantial rise in coverage and sum assured despite 2016-17 being a normal monsoon year but after nearly four seasons of implementation, several challenges have cropped up, Ashish Bhutani, joint secretary at the agriculture ministry, told a national conference on agriculture insurance organized by industry lobby Ficci.<br />

&ldquo;The biggest challenge we face is the conduct of crop cutting experiments which many states are unable to do in a short window of time,&rdquo; Bhutani said. Companies have also objected to possible fudging in crop cutting experiments (used to estimate losses), &ldquo;so we have put in the provision of companies co-observing these experiments,&rdquo; he added.<br />
<br />
&ldquo;There are gaps in many states in implementing the guidelines of the scheme in letter and spirit... and those have led to payment delays (to farmers) in certain states,&rdquo; Bhutani said.<br />

<em>Centre is soon going to issue a revised set of guidelines to address current challenges faced by the crop insurance scheme, says Ashish Bhutani, joint secretary at the agriculture ministry<br />
<br />
New Delhi: </em>The prime minister&rsquo;s flagship crop insurance scheme, which has seen an impressive rise in coverage and sum assured since its launch in 2016, is facing a number of challenges that are delaying claim settlements for farmers, a senior agriculture ministry official said on Wednesday.<br />
<br />
The Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana (PMFBY) has seen a substantial rise in coverage and sum assured despite 2016-17 being a normal monsoon year but after nearly four seasons of implementation, several challenges have cropped up, Ashish Bhutani, joint secretary at the agriculture ministry, told a national conference on agriculture insurance organized by industry lobby Ficci.<br />
<br />
&ldquo;The biggest challenge we face is the conduct of crop cutting experiments which many states are unable to do in a short window of time,&rdquo; Bhutani said. Companies have also objected to possible fudging in crop cutting experiments (used to estimate losses), &ldquo;so we have put in the provision of companies co-observing these experiments,&rdquo; he added.<br />
<br />
&ldquo;There are gaps in many states in implementing the guidelines of the scheme in letter and spirit... and those have led to payment delays (to farmers) in certain states,&rdquo; Bhutani said.<br />
<br />
He said a lack of historical data has hiked up premiums in some areas, and states are not doing enough to provide data to companies. &ldquo;Another issue which is a challenge for us is the delay in release of subsidies (towards premium) by state governments which is delaying payment of claims to farmers,&rdquo; Bhutani said.<br />
<br />
Bhutani, who is steering the flagship scheme at the centre, also said the ministry is ready with a new portal which will ensure transparency and end-to-end implementation of the scheme from communication between states and companies to claim settlement. &ldquo;The government is soon going to issue a revised set of guidelines to address current challenges and we are also thinking of setting up a dispute resolution mechanism to resolve conflicts between state governments and companies,&rdquo; he said.<br />
