evidence: The first claim is that PMFBY is the ‘biggest financial support till date in crop insurance where 4.05 crore farmers are covered’. [...] It is not clear as to what the government means by ‘biggest financial support in crop insurance till date’. If this is about the number of farmers insured, the number has grown even during the UPA from 2.62 crore farmers insured in 2009-10 to 3.3 crores in 2012-13. [...] Fact: The total number of farmers enrolled in PMFBY in 2016-17 was 5.73 crores while it was 5.18 crores for 2017-18 (mainly Kharif 2017). The total number of beneficiaries (farmers whose claims are processed) in 2016-17 & 2017-18 is 4.65 crores. However, it is not clear as to what the government means by ‘biggest financial support in crop insurance till date’. If this is about the number of farmers insured, the number has grown even during the UPA from 2.62 crore farmers insured in 2009-10 to 3.3 crores n 2012-13. Hence, the claim is PARTLY TRUE.
