Agriculture Minister Narendra Singh Tomar on Wednesday said 29 crore farmers have so far insured their crops under the government s Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana (PMFBY) and urged other growers who have not yet got one to enroll soon. On the occasion of five years of implementation of PMFBY, the minister said crop insurance is the only suraksha kavach (security shield) for farmers from any crop losses arising due to natural disasters. So far, 29 crore farmers have insured their crops under the scheme and about 5.5 crores new farmers are getting registered every year. The government has disbursed claims worth Rs 90,000 crore in the last five years, he added.
