The Gujarat government on August 10 launched a new scheme under which farmers facing crop losses due to drought, excess or unseasonal rain will get compensation without collection of any premium from them.
The new scheme Mukhya Mantri Kisan Sahay Yojana will replace the Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana (PMFBY) for this year only, Gujarat Chief Minister Vijay Rupani announced here.
Unlike the Centres crop insurance scheme, farmers are not required to pay any premium under this new State governments scheme to get protection against natural risks like drought, excess or unseasonal rain this kharif season, Mr. Rupani told reporters.
The amount sought by insurance firms this year is much higher than the average yearly premium of around 1,800 crore, he said.
Thus, we have decided not to accept the tender for this year and launch this scheme. Neither the State nor farmers will have to pay any premium this year. Unlike PMFBY, which protects only those farmers who pay premium, our scheme will cover all the farmers, that too with zero premium, the Chief Minister said.
He said farmers who have sown crops in this kharif (monsoon) season will get benefit under this scheme.
