ABSTRACT
Agriculture is a main stay of Indian economy. Aboutfiftypercentpopulation of
India is dependent upon agriculture sector for their sustenance
notwithstanding its reduced share in GDP of India. Agricultural production is
frequently affected by natural disasters like floods, earthquake, drought,
cyclone etc. these events severely affecttheincomeof the farmersthrough loss
in agricultural production as these events are beyond the control of farmers.
With the commercialization of agriculture, magnitude of loss due to these
events is increasing. The important strategy which can effectively address the
risk to output and farm income is agriculture insurance. Since independence
the various agriculture insurance schemes have been introduced in the
country. The main objective of this paper is to examine the growth and
performance of agriculture insurance in India. The farmers who have insured
their crops during the rabi season were 78362063 and during kharif season
were 192794173 from 1999-00 to 2015-16 under the NAIS.

I. INTRODUCTION
Agriculture is a critical sector of India. It has undergone major structural
changes in the form of decrease in its share in country’s GDP from 50 percent
during 1948 to 17.0 percent in 2016-17 indicating a shift from the agrarian
economy towards a service sector.
The decrease in agriculture’s contribution to GDP has not
been accompanied by equal reduction in the share of
agriculture sector in employment. About fifty percent of the
total workforce is still employed by this sector. Agriculture
sector faces various types of natural hazards. Agriculture
insurance is significant instrument to give protection to the
farmers under risky activities and playing an important role
in cultivation decision, agricultural production decision and
chemical use decision. Although sharecropping is an
important policy to give protection to the farmers under
risky activities yet it gives protection to landless peasants
only. It fails to protect the small and medium sized farmers
from risk. Agriculture insuranceismoreeffectiveinstrument
to deal with this problem as it provides the financialsecurity
to the farmers (GOI, 2013).
Although the idea of crop insurance was introduced in India
during 1915 yet the formal attempt for the introduction of
agriculture insurance was started after the independence of
the country. An officer on special duty was appointed who
prepared the two insurance schemes that were cattle
insurance and crop insurance. These both the schemeswere
not implemented in the country due to the paucity of funds
among the states. After that, the draft bill and a model
scheme were prepared and these were circulated among
states for express their views. The different states were
given different views about the model scheme. Then these
were referred to expert committee (1970) which was
chaired by Dharam Narain for fuller examination of their
economic, administrative and financial implications. By
obtaining the conditions which were prevailed in the
country, the committee concluded that it was not advisable
to introduce crop insurance onpilotoranexperimentalbasis
in the country (Nain et.al., 2017).
However, the first agriculture insurance scheme was
introduced in 1972, in Gujarat mainly for the H-4 cotton.
Later on, the scheme was extended to other states and other
crops. This scheme was based on the individual approach
which means that the indemnity was paid to each farmer by
ascertaining the crop output of each farmer separately. It
was difficult to ascertain the crop output of each individual
separately as it was expensive therefore; Dandekar
recommended that the agriculture insuranceschemeshould
be introduced on the basis of homogeneous area approach
rather than the individual approach (Dandekar,1976).After
that a number of agriculture insurance schemes are
introduced in India like, Pilot Crop Insurance Scheme,
Comprehensive Crop Insurance Scheme, ExperimentalCrop
Insurance Scheme, National Agriculture Insurance Scheme,
Weather Based Crop Insurance Scheme, Modified National
Agriculture Insurance Scheme, Coconut Palm Insurance
Scheme and recently, the Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana
has been introduced. All these schemes are based on the
homogeneous area approach.
Objective
The main objective of the paper is to examine growth and
performance of agriculture insurance in India.

Methodology
The proper implementation of the agriculture insurance
schemes in India can be seen fromthe year 1999-2000. Since
1999-00, major schemes implemented in India are National
Agriculture Insurance Scheme, Weather based Crop
Insurance Scheme, Modified National Agriculture Insurance
Scheme, Coconut Palm Insurance Scheme and Pradhan
Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana. Therefore, thepaperhasanalysed
these five schemes by using secondary data. The main
sources of secondary data are Agriculture Statistics at a
Glance, Government of India Ministry of Agriculture,
Cooperation and Farmers’ welfare.
National Agriculture Insurance Scheme
In order to, provide the financial support to the farmers in
the event of financial loss due to failure of crops asaresultof
natural calamities like, flood, drought, pestsand diseasesthe
national agriculture insurance scheme (NAIS) was
introduced in the country during the rabiseasonof1999-00.
This scheme was available to all the farmers i.e., loanee as
well as non- loanee farmers irrespective of their size of
holding and the scheme was compulsory for the loanee
farmers and voluntary for non-loanee farmers. It covered all
the food grains, oilseeds,horticulturalandcommercialcrops.
The premium rate charged under the scheme was 1.5
percent for wheat, 2 percent for the food crops and 3.5
percent for the oilseeds. Under the scheme, 10 percent
subsidy on the premium rate was given to the small and
marginal farmers (Singh, 2016).
The performance of the National Agriculture Insurance
Scheme (NAIS) during the Rabi season has been shown in
the table 1. The table revealed that there were 579940
farmers who have insured their crops in 1999-2000, which
increased to 6210648 in 2008-09, the number declined in
2013-14, simultaneously the area insured under the
agriculture insurance scheme and sum insured was also
declined, reason being, the modified national agriculture
insurance scheme was introduced in 2010-11 on pilot basis,
which become the full fledged part of the national crop
insurance program in 2013-14, this scheme was
improvement over NAIS as the insurance unit was reduced
to the village level from the block level. The gross premium
paid for the insurance of crops from 1999-00 till 2015-16,
was Rs. 415404.54 lakh which had 25.09 percent CAGR. The
amount of claims reported at constantpricesof2011-12 was
Rs. 1719.02 lakh in 1999-00, which increased to Rs.
215349.89 lakh in 2008-09 and the amount of claims
declined in 2013-14.

Weather Based Crop Insurance Scheme
In order to bring more farmers under the fold of crop insurance, the weather based crop insurance scheme (WBCIS) was
introduced in the union budget of 2007-08. This scheme intends to provide the insurance protection to the farmers from the
adverse weather conditions, like excess and deficit rainfall, humidity, high or low temperature which adversely affect the
production of crops. The premium rate was capped at 10 percent in the kharif season, 8 percent in the rabi season and 12
percent for the horticultural and commercial crops. The loanee as well as non-loanee farmers were covered under thescheme
irrespective of their size of holding. The subsidy up to 50 percent on the premium rate was provided to the famers by the
government which was shared by the centre and state government equally i.e., on 50:50 basis. (GOI 2016-17).
The performance of weather based crop insurance scheme during the kharif season has been shown in the table 3. The table
revealed that the number of farmers who have insured their crops was increasing continuously since the inception of the
scheme to 2013, after that the declining trend can be seen for the years 2014 and 2015, simultaneously the area insured and
sum insured was also declined. The gross premium paid for the insurance of the crops till 2015 was Rs. 688822.03 lakh. The
amount of claims reported was Rs. 887.14 lakh in 2007, which increased continuously and become Rs. 107341.72 in 2013,
afterwards the amount of claims reported, declined in 2014 and 2015.

Modified National Agriculture Insurance Scheme
In order to remove the shortcomings of the national agriculture insurance scheme the modifiednationalagricultureinsurance
scheme (MNAIS) was introduced in 2010. Under this scheme, the unit of insurance was reduced to the village level, private
insurance companies were also involved for implementation and in order to provide competitive service to the farmers. The
premium rate was capped at 11 percent for the kharif season, 9 percentforrabiseason and 13percentforthehorticulturaland
commercial crops. The subsidy on the premium rate was increased up to the 75 percent and the minimum indemnity was
increased up to 70 percent instead of 60 percent under NAIS (Kiren and Umesh, 2012).

Conclusion
Agriculture is an important sector of Indian economy. It
faces different types of natural hazards. Agriculture
insurance is a significant instrument to give protection to
farmers under risky activities. Since independence the
various agricultureinsuranceschemeshavebeen introduced
in the country. The proper implementation of theagriculture
insurance schemes in India can be seen from the year 1999-
2000. Therefore, the paper has analysed those schemes
which are implemented in India since 1999. The NAIS was
implemented in the country during 1999-00, there were
579940 farmers, whohaveinsured their cropsin 1999-2000,
which increased to 6210648 in 2008-09, the number
declined in 2013-14, simultaneously the area insured under
the agriculture insurance scheme and sum insured was also
declined, reason being, the MNAIS was introduced in 2010-
11 on pilot basis, which become the full fledged part of the
national crop insurance program in 2013-14, this scheme
was an improvement over NAIS as the insurance unit was
reduced to the village level from the block level and it was
decided to discontinue the NAIS during 2013-14. In some
states this scheme was continuedtill2015-16.Therewas the
delay in the payment of claims under NAIS, in order to
overcome this drawback the WBCIS was introduced in the
country during 2007-08 and modified national agriculture
insurance scheme in 2010. The number offarmerswhohave
insured their crops was increasing continuously from2010-
11 to 2015-16, simultaneously the area insured under the
MNAIS was also increasing. The main drawback of the
MNAIS was the higher rate of premium, to remove this
problem the PMFBY wasintroducedduringthekharif season
2016. Under the scheme the maximum premium paid by the
farmers was fixed 2 percent for the kharif crops, 1.5 percent
for the rabi crops and 5 percent for the horticultural and
commercial crops.

Aboutfiftypercentpopulation of India is dependent upon agriculture sector for their sustenance notwithstanding its reduced share in GDP of India. Agricultural production is frequently affected by natural disasters like floods, earthquake, drought, cyclone etc. these events severely affecttheincomeof the farmersthrough loss in agricultural production as these events are beyond the control of farmers. With the commercialization of agriculture, magnitude of loss due to these events is increasing. The important strategy which can effectively address the risk to output and farm income is agriculture insurance. Since independence the various agriculture insurance schemes have been introduced in the country. The main objective of this paper is to examine the growth and performance of agriculture insurance in India. The farmers who have insured their crops during the rabi season were 78362063 and during kharif season were 192794173 from 1999-00 to 2015-16 under the NAIS. KEYWORDS: Agriculture, Agriculture Insurance, NAIS, WBCIS, Growth and Performance I. INTRODUCTION Agriculture is a critical sector of India. It has undergone major structural changes in the form of decrease in its share in country’s GDP from 50 percent during 1948 to 17.0 percent in 2016-17 indicating a shift from the agrarian economy towards a service sector. The decrease in agriculture’s contribution to GDP has not been accompanied by equal reduction in the share of agriculture sector in employment. About fifty percent of the total workforce is still employed by this sector. Agriculture sector faces various types of natural hazards. Agriculture insurance is significant instrument to give protection to the farmers under risky activities and playing an important role in cultivation decision, agricultural production decision and chemical use decision. Although sharecropping is an important policy to give protection to the farmers under risky activities yet it gives protection to landless peasants only. It fails to protect the small and medium sized farmers from risk. Agriculture insuranceismoreeffectiveinstrument to deal with this problem as it provides the financialsecurity to the farmers (GOI, 2013). Although the idea of crop insurance was introduced in India during 1915 yet the formal attempt for the introduction of agriculture insurance was started after the independence of the country. An officer on special duty was appointed who prepared the two insurance schemes that were cattle insurance and crop insurance. These both the schemeswere not implemented in the country due to the paucity of funds among the states. After that, the draft bill and a model scheme were prepared and these were circulated among states for express their views. The different states were given different views about the model scheme. Then these were referred to expert committee (1970) which was chaired by Dharam Narain for fuller examination of their economic, administrative and financial implications. By obtaining the conditions which were prevailed in the country, the committee concluded that it was not advisable to introduce crop insurance onpilotoranexperimentalbasis in the country (Nain et.al., 2017). However, the first agriculture insurance scheme was introduced in 1972, in Gujarat mainly for the H-4 cotton. Later on, the scheme was extended to other states and other crops. This scheme was based on the individual approach which means that the indemnity was paid to each farmer by ascertaining the crop output of each farmer separately. It was difficult to ascertain the crop output of each individual separately as it was expensive therefore; Dandekar recommended that the agriculture insuranceschemeshould be introduced on the basis of homogeneous area approach rather than the individual approach (Dandekar,1976).After that a number of agriculture insurance schemes are introduced in India like, Pilot Crop Insurance Scheme, Comprehensive Crop Insurance Scheme, ExperimentalCrop Insurance Scheme, National Agriculture Insurance Scheme, Weather Based Crop Insurance Scheme, Modified National Agriculture Insurance Scheme, Coconut Palm Insurance Scheme and recently, the Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana has been introduced. All these schemes are based on the homogeneous area approach. Objective The main objective of the paper is to examine growth and performance of agriculture insurance in India. IJTSRD25354

International Journal of Trend in Scientific Research and Development (IJTSRD) @ www.ijtsrd.com eISSN: 2456-6470 @ IJTSRD | Unique Paper ID – IJTSRD25354 | Volume – 3 | Issue – 5 | July - August 2019 Page 481 Methodology The proper implementation of the agriculture insurance schemes in India can be seen fromthe year 1999-2000. Since 1999-00, major schemes implemented in India are National Agriculture Insurance Scheme, Weather based Crop Insurance Scheme, Modified National Agriculture Insurance Scheme, Coconut Palm Insurance Scheme and Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana. Therefore, thepaperhasanalysed these five schemes by using secondary data. The main sources of secondary data are Agriculture Statistics at a Glance, Government of India Ministry of Agriculture, Cooperation and Farmers’ welfare. National Agriculture Insurance Scheme In order to, provide the financial support to the farmers in the event of financial loss due to failure of crops asaresultof natural calamities like, flood, drought, pestsand diseasesthe national agriculture insurance scheme (NAIS) was introduced in the country during the rabiseasonof1999-00. This scheme was available to all the farmers i.e., loanee as well as non- loanee farmers irrespective of their size of holding and the scheme was compulsory for the loanee farmers and voluntary for non-loanee farmers. It covered all the food grains, oilseeds,horticulturalandcommercialcrops. The premium rate charged under the scheme was 1.5 percent for wheat, 2 percent for the food crops and 3.5 percent for the oilseeds. Under the scheme, 10 percent subsidy on the premium rate was given to the small and marginal farmers (Singh, 2016). The performance of the National Agriculture Insurance Scheme (NAIS) during the Rabi season has been shown in the table 1. The table revealed that there were 579940 farmers who have insured their crops in 1999-2000, which increased to 6210648 in 2008-09, the number declined in 2013-14, simultaneously the area insured under the agriculture insurance scheme and sum insured was also declined, reason being, the modified national agriculture insurance scheme was introduced in 2010-11 on pilot basis, which become the full fledged part of the national crop insurance program in 2013-14, this scheme was improvement over NAIS as the insurance unit was reduced to the village level from the block level. The gross premium paid for the insurance of crops from 1999-00 till 2015-16, was Rs. 415404.54 lakh which had 25.09 percent CAGR. The amount of claims reported at constantpricesof2011-12 was Rs. 1719.02 lakh in 1999-00, which increased to Rs. 215349.89 lakh in 2008-09 and the amount of claims declined in 2013-14.

Weather Based Crop Insurance Scheme In order to bring more farmers under the fold of crop insurance, the weather based crop insurance scheme (WBCIS) was introduced in the union budget of 2007-08. This scheme intends to provide the insurance protection to the farmers from the adverse weather conditions, like excess and deficit rainfall, humidity, high or low temperature which adversely affect the production of crops. The premium rate was capped at 10 percent in the kharif season, 8 percent in the rabi season and 12 percent for the horticultural and commercial crops. The loanee as well as non-loanee farmers were covered under thescheme irrespective of their size of holding. The subsidy up to 50 percent on the premium rate was provided to the famers by the government which was shared by the centre and state government equally i.e., on 50:50 basis. (GOI 2016-17). The performance of weather based crop insurance scheme during the kharif season has been shown in the table 3. The table revealed that the number of farmers who have insured their crops was increasing continuously since the inception of the scheme to 2013, after that the declining trend can be seen for the years 2014 and 2015, simultaneously the area insured and sum insured was also declined. The gross premium paid for the insurance of the crops till 2015 was Rs. 688822.03 lakh. The amount of claims reported was Rs. 887.14 lakh in 2007, which increased continuously and become Rs. 107341.72 in 2013, afterwards the amount of claims reported, declined in 2014 and 2015.

The premium rate was capped at 11 percent for the kharif season, 9 percentforrabiseason and 13percentforthehorticulturaland commercial crops. The subsidy on the premium rate was increased up to the 75 percent and the minimum indemnity was increased up to 70 percent instead of 60 percent under NAIS (Kiren and Umesh, 2012).

It faces different types of natural hazards. Agriculture insurance is a significant instrument to give protection to farmers under risky activities. Since independence the various agricultureinsuranceschemeshavebeen introduced in the country. The proper implementation of theagriculture insurance schemes in India can be seen from the year 1999- 2000. Therefore, the paper has analysed those schemes which are implemented in India since 1999. The NAIS was implemented in the country during 1999-00, there were 579940 farmers, whohaveinsured their cropsin 1999-2000, which increased to 6210648 in 2008-09, the number declined in 2013-14, simultaneously the area insured under the agriculture insurance scheme and sum insured was also declined, reason being, the MNAIS was introduced in 2010- 11 on pilot basis, which become the full fledged part of the national crop insurance program in 2013-14, this scheme was an improvement over NAIS as the insurance unit was reduced to the village level from the block level and it was decided to discontinue the NAIS during 2013-14. In some states this scheme was continuedtill2015-16.Therewas the delay in the payment of claims under NAIS, in order to overcome this drawback the WBCIS was introduced in the country during 2007-08 and modified national agriculture insurance scheme in 2010. The number offarmerswhohave insured their crops was increasing continuously from2010- 11 to 2015-16, simultaneously the area insured under the MNAIS was also increasing. The main drawback of the MNAIS was the higher rate of premium, to remove this problem the PMFBY wasintroducedduringthekharif season 2016. Under the scheme the maximum premium paid by the farmers was fixed 2 percent for the kharif crops, 1.5 percent for the rabi crops and 5 percent for the horticultural and commercial crops.
