The Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers' Welfare launched three new initiatives to bolster crop insurance and help the overall farming community in India.
They are
Kisan Rakshak Helpline 14447 and Portal
Agri-Insurance Sandbox Framework Platform SARTHI and
Learning Management System (LMS) Platform
KRPH 14447 platform provides multilingual support, enabling transparent communication and real-time resolution of grievances related to compensation delays and insurance queries.
SARTHI Platform aims to provide a comprehensive suite of insurance products including government’s subsidised PMFBY, tailored explicitly for farmers and rural India.
The name SARTHI stands for Sandbox for Agricultural and Rural Security, Technology, and Insurance.
The Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana (PMFBY), launched in 2016, is the government sponsored crop insurance scheme for farmers.
