Rajasthan farmers have not received ₹8568 crore in claims under the PMFBY scheme in 5 years. The Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana has raised questions about its effectiveness.
The Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana (PMFBY) was launched to provide financial support to farmers in case of crop failure. However, in Rajasthan, the scheme has failed to deliver. In the past 5 years, farmers in the state have not received ₹8568 crore in claims. This has raised concerns about the effectiveness of the scheme. The PMFBY is a flagship program of the central government, aimed at providing insurance coverage to farmers against crop losses. Despite its good intentions, the scheme has faced several challenges in its implementation.
