Why is it important?
This study is important because crop insurance protects farmers from financial loss due to climate risks and crop failure. Understanding farmers’ problems—such as low awareness, high premiums, and complex procedures—helps policymakers improve schemes like PMFBY. The findings guide government, insurance companies, and extension workers to make crop insurance more accessible, transparent, and farmer-friendly, especially for small and marginal farmers.
Perspectives
From a broader perspective, the study shows that effective crop insurance is not just a financial tool but a support system for agricultural stability and rural development. It highlights that education, satisfaction, and ease of claim settlement can significantly increase farmers’ trust. The research emphasizes the need for simplified procedures, better communication, and targeted support to strengthen farmers’ resilience and ensure sustainable agriculture in regions like Jamkhandi.
