The Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana (PMFBY) is a crop insurance scheme launched by the Government of India to provide financial support to farmers in case of crop failure due to natural calamities, pests, or diseases. It aims to stabilize the income of farmers and encourage better farming practices.
Farmers are being disqualified from the PMFBY in Maharashtra due to data discrepancies and alleged submission of false information. The Agriculture Department has identified issues such as incorrect details about the area under cultivation, exaggerated loss estimates, and false claims about crop varieties.
The department is taking several measures, including thorough verification processes, on-ground inspections, satellite imagery, and consultations with local agricultural officers. They are also planning to introduce advanced technologies like remote sensing and AI-driven data analytics to enhance monitoring and verification mechanisms.
Farmers can seek redressal through the designated grievance redressal mechanism. The department has set up a helpline and a dedicated portal for farmers to submit their queries and concerns. They can also reach out to local agricultural officers for assistance.
In addition to the PMFBY, the government has initiatives like the Rashtriya Krishi Vikas Yojana (RKVY) and the National Agriculture Market (eNAM) platform. These initiatives aim to improve the overall productivity and profitability of farming in the state.
