&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;The scheme has consumed thrice as much money as earlier schemes without increasing the number of beneficiaries&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The new farm insurance scheme, introduced in 2016, the Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana, has reportedly consumed thrice as much money as earlier schemes without either increasing the number of beneficiaries or giving farmers a fair claim. The PMFBY allows states to choose insurance companies through competitive bidding. Companies which propose to collect the least premium are selected to implement the scheme for a particular district. The entry of private companies is supposed to reduce the premium burden on the government. However, the PMFBY has allegedly increased the average actuarial premium collected across the country to an average of 12.55 per cent of the insured amount. It is a &amp;lsquo;revised&amp;rsquo; and &amp;lsquo;improved&amp;rsquo; form of the pre-existing agriculture insurance schemes. While the hype about universal cover for crops of all kinds is incorrect, the PMFBY did expand the nature of risks covered, reduce the unit of insurance down to a village and kept farmers&amp;rsquo; share in premium to a reasonable level.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The growth in India&amp;rsquo;s crop insurance market premium for insurance companies has been phenomenal. From Rs 4,200 crore in 2015-16, it reached Rs 22,180 crore in 2016-17. In 2017-18, it grossed a premium of Rs 24,352 crore and for 2018-19, estimated premium under crop insurance is Rs 27,000 crore.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The first four seasons have been extremely unsatisfactory. This is because the scheme did not cover some critical and growing risks like damage by stray and wild animals. The new and welcome feature of the village as the unit of damage assessment was extended only to the &amp;lsquo;major&amp;rsquo; crop for each district, leaving cultivators of other crops vulnerable unless the entire tehsil or district suffered a calamity. But the scheme has floundered mostly because of implementation failure, collusion between government agencies and private insurance companies and the lack of political will to honour the interests of farmers. The PMFBY continues to be plagued by the problems that beset earlier farm insurance schemes. Most farmers are not aware of how they can get insured, the terms of insurance, the details of premiums or payouts as well as the existence of crop insurance itself. Insured farmers don&amp;rsquo;t even receive a policy document from the bank confirming the insurance.&lt;br /&gt;

$disp = &#039;&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;-The Telegraph&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;The scheme has consumed thrice as much money as earlier schemes without increasing the number of beneficiaries&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The new farm insurance scheme, introduced in 2016, the Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana, has reportedly consumed thrice as much money as earlier schemes without either increasing the number of beneficiaries or giving farmers a fair claim. The PMFBY allows states to choose insurance companies through competitive bidding. Companies which propose to collect the least premium are selected to implement the scheme for a particular district. The entry of private companies is supposed to reduce the premium burden on the government. However, the PMFBY has allegedly increased the average actuarial premium collected across the country to an average of 12.55 per cent of the insured amount. It is a &amp;lsquo;revised&amp;rsquo; and &amp;lsquo;improved&amp;rsquo; form of the pre-existing agriculture insurance schemes. While the hype about universal cover for crops of all kinds is incorrect, the PMFBY did expand the nature of risks covered, reduce the unit of insurance down to a village and kept farmers&amp;rsquo; share in premium to a reasonable level.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The growth in India&amp;rsquo;s crop insurance market premium for insurance companies has been phenomenal. From Rs 4,200 crore in 2015-16, it reached Rs 22,180 crore in 2016-17. In 2017-18, it grossed a premium of Rs 24,352 crore and for 2018-19, estimated premium under crop insurance is Rs 27,000 crore.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The first four seasons have been extremely unsatisfactory. This is because the scheme did not cover some critical and growing risks like damage by stray and wild animals. The new and welcome feature of the village as the unit of damage assessment was extended only to the &amp;lsquo;major&amp;rsquo; crop for each district, leaving cultivators of other crops vulnerable unless the entire tehsil or district suffered a calamity. But the scheme has floundered mostly because of implementation failure, collusion between government agencies and private insurance companies and the lack of political will to honour the interests of farmers. The PMFBY continues to be plagued by the problems that beset earlier farm insurance schemes. Most farmers are not aware of how they can get insured, the terms of insurance, the details of premiums or payouts as well as the existence of crop insurance itself. Insured farmers don&amp;rsquo;t even receive a policy document from the bank confirming the insurance.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.telegraphindia.com/opinion/the-bjp-government-s-crop-insurance-scheme-costs-more-and-works-less/cid/1675842?ref=comment_home-template&quot; title=&quot;https://www.telegraphindia.com/opinion/the-bjp-government-s-crop-insurance-scheme-costs-more-and-works-less/cid/1675842?ref=comment_home-template&quot;&gt;click here&lt;/a&gt; to read more. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&#039;

The new farm insurance scheme, introduced in 2016, the Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana, has reportedly consumed thrice as much money as earlier schemes without either increasing the number of beneficiaries or giving farmers a fair claim.
