Every year, Indian farmers face huge losses due to storms, floods, excessive rainfall, and other weather-related disasters.

In addition, Haryana has also taken independent steps to compensate affected farmers.

PM Fasal Bima Yojana: A Strong Support for Farmers

Alongside state-level compensation, farmers also benefit from the Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana (PMFBY), a crop insurance scheme launched by the central government. This scheme offers insurance coverage against crop loss due to natural disasters, pest attacks, or diseases.

Farmers pay a minimal premium under this scheme, and in case of damage, the insurance company directly transfers the compensation to the farmer’s bank account. Most of the insurance premium is subsidized by the central and state governments, reducing the financial burden on farmers.

If an eligible farmer does not receive compensation, they can raise a complaint by visiting their nearest agriculture office or Kisan Seva Kendra. These offices will help resolve issues related to compensation under the state scheme or PMFBY.
