Question : FARMERS BENEFITED UNDER NAIS

the number of farmers benefited under National Agricultural Insurance Scheme all over the country during the current financial year as on November 30, 2003, State- wise?

Answer given by the minister

MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF AGRICULTURE (SHRI HUKUMDEO NARAYAN YADAV)

The amount of admissible claims and the number of farmers benefitted are calculated on the basis of yield data made available by the concerned State Government at the end of each crop season. Since the yield data for the current crop season (i.e. Kharif 2003) has not been submitted by the implementing states, therefore, the number of farmers benefitted in the current financial year has not been assessed.
