Several states, including Bihar, Telangana, Nagaland, and Mizoram, are likely to join the highly subsidized Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana (PMFBY) from the next rabi crop season, sources said.
Since its launch in kharif, 2016, 27 states and union territories (UTs) have implemented the scheme in several seasons. However, Bihar, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Jharkhand, West Bengal, and Gujarat opted out of the scheme due to factors including financial constraints. However, Andhra Pradesh and Jharkhand have rejoined it.
"The department of agriculture is regularly persuading the non-implementing states to participate in the scheme by engaging at the highest levels, in one-on-one meetings, as well as national review conferences," according to an agriculture ministry statement in parliament. Currently, crop insurance is being implemented across 23 states and UTs.
