The Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare has launched 'Meri Policy Mere Hath' campaign under the Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana to distribute crop insurance policies.
The ‘Meri Policy Mere Hath’ door-step campaign has been launched to ensure that all farmers are well informed about their land records, policies, and the PMFBY’s claim and grievance redressal process.
In the month of February 2016, PMFBY was launched with the aim of providing financial assistance to all the farmers who have suffered crop damage or loss from natural disasters. As of February 4, 2022, over 36 million farmer applications have been insured under this scheme with over Rs. 1,07,059 crores in claims paid.
