Jammu and Kashmir Reports Crop Insurance Coverage and Horticulture Sector Impact
The Jammu and Kashmir government reported that the Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana (PMFBY) is implemented across all 20 districts, covering nearly 13 lakh farmers with claims totaling around Rs 221.71 crore. The horticulture sector supports about 35 lakh people, contributing roughly 10% to the UT's GDP and generating an estimated annual income of Rs 12,000 crore. The PMFBY scheme is demand-driven with no cap on beneficiaries, covering losses from natural calamities. Delays in claim processing are attributed to administrative issues like Aadhaar verification.
