| Central Government’s Crop Insurance Liability at Rs.7221.35 Crore during XI Plan |
Crop insurance schemes are demand driven and therefore, achievement of schemes mainly depends on crop condition and weather. Actual expenditure against Government of India liability under Crop Insurance schemes has been much higher than the budget estimates. As against Budget Estimates of Rs.1500 crore for X Plan and Rs.3500 crore for XI Plan periods, actual expenditure has been much higher at Rs.2626.84 crore and Rs.7221.35 crore during X and XI Plan period respectively under crop insurance schemes.
National Agricultural Insurance Scheme (NAIS) & Modified NAIS provide comprehensive risk insurance to cover yield losses due to non-preventable risks like natural calamities, pests and diseases and the cover is available for all farmers from sowing till harvesting of crops. Under Weather Based Crop Insurance Scheme (WBCIS) crop losses on account of adverse conditions of weather parameters like deficit of excess rainfall, temperature and humidity are covered. Under Pilot Coconut Palm Insurance Scheme (CPIS) insurance coverage is provided for total loss/death/becoming palm tree useless.
This information was given by Dr. Charan Das Mahant, Minister of State for Agriculture and Food Processing Industries in written reply to a question in the Rajya Sabha today.
