There is requirement of proper capacity building and training as States and districts should be made aware about provision such as of extending of cut-off dates that can be adopted by the state depending on the Kharif and Rabi crop cycle of that particular state/district.

The other challenge is the non-inclusion of some Horticulture crops in the scheme and the high premium amount for Horticulture crops (5%) compared to other crops (2%). For this farmers’ premium for Horticulture Crops should be reduced and made at par with Agriculture Crops

Cash incentive could be given to best performing field functionaries which will motivate them to conduct awareness campaigns and convince farmers of the scheme benefits.

In efforts to overcome this challenge Premium could be reduced for farmers when there is no claim in a year. This could be on pattern of no claim benefit as in case of car insurance. Another suggestion was that Centre and State may bear full cost and premium be recovered from farmer in case of failure.

Motivating farmers to adopt PMFBY for risk coverage required behavioural change. Generally, when the crop doesn’t fail, farmers feel cheated as there is no return and in such scenarios coverage gets reduced in the following year.

PMFBY has multiple challenges due to diversity of cropped area, different terrains, coordination among stakeholders viz. Banks, insurance companies. This section contains suggestions, to overcome some challenges, made by various districts who applied for PM awards.

radio talks and cultural programmes were conducted at village level to enrol more farmers. As a result, nearly a million of farmers enrolled under PMFBY during Rabi season 2016-17 and 2017-18.

The authorities enlightened farmers with various aspects of PMFBY - from the need for crop insurance, procedure of enrolment, nearby facilitation centres, enrolment centre for the village and compensation amount details, amongst other things.
