Issues and Challenges - MNAIS

• Need for modification of Seasonality discipline.• Higher premium rates.• Sowing failure – Methodology to be defined clearly.• Midseason crop failure – assessment of crop

damage and adhoc payment methodology to be illustrated.

• Post harvest loss, assessment a challenge

18

Issues and Challenges - WBCIS

• Design of the weather product• Correlation of weather perils to the final crop

output.• Low density of AWS• Data validation & accuracy• Consideration based on alternate weather data if

AWS do not reflect the prevailing weather of particular Insured Area.

• Delay in settlement of claims

19

Future planning

• Wide publicity and awareness programmes at District, Mandal, Village level.

• Farmer interaction programmes in the villages / TV, AIR• To increase the coverage in terms of Loanee and Non-

Loanee• To involve NGOs farmer clubs, farmers associations to

give more focus on Small & Marginal Farmers.• Increase the coverage of land holdings by widening the

basket of crops under insurance.• Designing / modification of weather crop products as per

the requirement• Quick settlement of Claims
