  • The Central Research Institute for Dryland Agriculture (CRIDA) scientists have developed an early warning system called the ‘Farmers Distress Index’.
  • CRIDA is an Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) organ.
  • The Index has been built on the 21-simple questions, divided into seven blocks of three questions each.
  • By receiving answers to those questions, we can tell whether they are experiencing distress or not.
  • The Development of this index is part of the NABARD-funded project on ‘Farmers Distress and Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana (PMFBY)’.
