Testimonials
Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana which works on the theme of one nation-one scheme was launched in April, 2016 and has been opted for implementation in one or more season(s) by 27 States/ Union Territories till date, wherein the State’s decision to implement the scheme is done on the basis of their perception of risk to the crops they grow
Dr. Ashish Kumar Bhutani |IAS, CEO PMFBY
Under the Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana, Gujarat State has strengthened their technological capabilities viz. satellite image processing, outsourced the weather data for various stakeholders and also customized the online portal for farmers enrollment under the scheme.
Shri Prakash Rabar |Joint Director of Agriculture, Gujarat
Under the PMFBY, we have adopted Gram Panchayat as a unit of insurance in Gujarat for major crops. We have also adopted mobile based application for
Crop Cutting Experiments (CCEs) monitoring, which is a crucial activity in determining the yield of the crops
Shri Bharat Modi |Director of Agriculture, Gujarat
I believe the PMFBY scheme serves as a cushion for us, for the times when we might face crop losses, by insuring us and taking away our financial risks.
Tarshibhai Bhandari |Farmer, Dhrol, Jamnagar (Gujarat)
I am associated with PMFBY scheme since 2017, and I ensure that my crops are insured every season. For Rabi 2018-19, I have insured Jowar crop. In my opinion, the scheme is really helping the farmers like me from the vagaries of the nature, by providing financial protection to us.
Deepak Ranshing |Farmer, Baramati, Pune (Maharashtra)

Stages of the crop and risks leading to crop loss covered:

This add-on coverage facilitates the provision for immediate relief to insured farmers in case of occurrence of such risks.

Kharif 2019 - Awareness Generation and Marketing Activities
Awareness Generation and Marketing activities were conducted in parts of Karnataka and Gujarat to increase the dissemination of PMFBY scheme related information. In an attempt to establish connect with the farmers, we tried to reach out to them through distribution of PMFBY branded materials like caps and raincoats. We also reached out to a large number of people through mediums such as newspaper advertisements, distribution of leaflets, banners and posters, and also through door-to-door van campaigns.
Kharif 2019 - Awareness Generation and Marketing Activities
Awareness Generation Activities Carried Out Under PMFBY
Bharti AXA General Insurance Company Ltd has actively carried out awareness generation activities in the states in all the four seasons (Kharif 2017, Kharif 2018, Rabi 2017-18, Rabi 2018-19). Right from distribution of leaflets, display of posters and banners in vernacular language, we have made our efforts to reach out to the maximum number of farmers. Reaching out to the last mile has its own set of challenges. We have used marketing strategies that are effective in rural areas including van campaigns, autorickshaw campaigns, performance of street plays, etc. These have helped us to increase the penetration of the scheme and increase the number of farmers insured under the scheme.
Awareness Generation Activities Carried Out Under PMFBY
Awareness Generation Activities Carried Out In Collaboration with KVKs under KKA Phase II
Awareness generation activities were carried out in the states of Jharkhand, Gujarat and Maharashtra for Rabi 2018-19. We reached out to the Aspirational distircts of the states through KrishiKalyanAbhiyan (KKA) - Phase II. Through the strong reach of KrishiVigyanKendras (KVKs), we have penetrated to the last mile.

FAQs
The Scheme shall operate on the principle of “Area Approach” in the selected defined areas called Insurance Unit (IU). State Govt. /UT will notify crops and defined areas covered during the season in accordance with decision taken in the meeting of SLCCCI. State/UT Govt. should notify Village/Village Panchayat or any other equivalent unit as an insurance unit for major crops defined at District / Taluka or equivalent level. For other crops it may be a unit of size above the level of Village/village Panchayat.
I. Food crops (Cereals, Millets and Pulses),
II. Oilseeds,
III. Annual Commercial and Horticultural crops.
All farmers including sharecroppers and tenant farmers growing the notified crops in the notified areas are eligible for coverage. However, farmers should have insurable interest for the insured crops and land.
Sum Insured for individual farmer is equal to sum insured per hectare multiplied by area of notified crop by the farmers for insurance. Sum insured per hectare is fixed by the State Govt.
