Crop insurance is a critical tool for managing risk in agriculture, which is
vulnerable to natural calamities and market fluctuations. India has a long
history of crop insurance, and the government has introduced several schemes
to protect farmers from crop losses and ensure their credit eligibility. This
book chapter provides an overview of various crop insurance schemes in
India, including the Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana (PMFBY), National
Agricultural Insurance Scheme (NAIS), Weather-based Crop Insurance
Scheme (WBCIS), Modified National Agricultural Insurance Scheme
(MNAIS), Coconut Palm Insurance Scheme (CPIS), and Livestock Insurance
Scheme. The chapter discusses the key features, benefits, and challenges of
each scheme, and highlights the need for more comprehensive and effective
crop insurance in India. The chapter also examines the role of crop insurance
in doubling farmers' income, promoting sustainable agriculture, and
enhancing food security in India. The chapter concludes with
recommendations for improving crop insurance schemes in India and
increasing their uptake among farmers.
