Agriculture is considered the backbone of Indian economy. The agriculture sector determines the growth and sustainability of Indian economy. About 52% of India’s workforce and 21% of India’s population still relies on agriculture for employment and livelihood. In spite of this, 197 farmers had committed suicide in 2015 in Karnataka (till September) and North-Karnataka accounted for 25 percent of such suicide cases compared to an average of 15 percent in remaining 5 regions of Karnataka (as per political map of Karnataka). As per the officials from agriculture department, none of the farmers who committed suicide had taken a crop insurance policy. These lives might have been saved if the crop is insured against climate change. As per the records of Agriculture Insurance Company of India (AIC) Ltd, only 16.3 percent of all farmers in Karnataka are covered under the NAIS. In the light of this observation, the researcher felt that it is high time to assess the awareness and existing knowledge about crop insurance among farmers. It is also necessary to assess perception of farmers about crop insurance. The study reveals that farmers have lot of faith in Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana. They have strong confidence in PMFBY that it will provide security against Crop Loss. However, they opined that there is no provision in the policy for risk coverage of both Kharif and Rabi Seasons. It is suggested that crop insurance should be delivered along with crop loan through banks. The agriculture department (GOK) should conduct an awareness programme in collaboration with Management Educational Institutes. This will not only help in creation of awareness but also educating farmers about crop insurance

Karnataka is one of the states, which experienced severe drought continuously for four years since 2014. In addition, heavy rainfall for the past two years has adversely affected agriculture produce in the entire state putting farmers into debt trap as most of them are not covered by crop insurance for crop failure. Although crop insurance was available to farmers in India since 1972, the coverage across the states including Karnataka was not found to be satisfactory. The average percentage of farmers covered under crop insurance was less than 10% during 1999-2015,both for India and Karnataka. It was 11.3% under NAIS 2015 kharif,increased to 12.2% in 2016, 17.1% in 2017 going down to 15.6% in 2018 and to 14.1% in 2019 under Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana (PMFBY)kharif in Karnataka. PMFBY was one new kind of agriculture insurance company and introduced throughout the country in 2016.This paper examines the performance of this scheme with specific reference to north Karnataka based on primary data collected from farmers’ survey in four districts, secondary data collected from official documents and first-handinformation gathered from regional stakeholder workshops organized in six selected districts of north Karnataka. The study tries to look into the extent of coverage and, flaws and merits of crop insurance schemes with reference to problems faced by farmers in getting insurance coverage and claims. The study covered around 1000 stakeholders including farmers,officials of banks, department of economics and statistics, agriculture department and insurance agencies, representatives of gram panchayats and cooperative societies. Three agricultural crop seasons have passed since then. Central government has brought in some changes in guidelines and is likely to make further changes in procedures in response to concerns expressed by States and farmers’ representatives. Follow up discussions with key stakeholders in Karnataka held after the initial farmers’ survey reveal that while a few of the anomalies in applying for crop insurance have been addressed by the concerned departments, major obstacles in assessment and claims continue to exasperate farmers who are miffed bythese procedural lapses. This paper throws light on some of these issues and discusses measures to make crop insurance, particularly PMFBY farmers’ friendly.

The irrigated agriculture sector has been facing an increased scarcity of good quality water worldwide. Consequently, the sustainability of water intensive crops, such as avocado, is threatened when water becomes scarce and expensive, or when growers must use saline water supplies that reduce crop yields. A variety of irrigation technologies and water management practices are now recommended to help growers through times of limited water supplies and elevated salinity levels. To examine how growers adopt different practices and combinations of practices, we collected data from a sample of avocado growers in California. We used Kohonen self-organizing maps, and developed logit models to identify the most common bundles of technologies and management practices that growers are using to deal with water scarcity. We test the validity of the proposed bundles and factors affecting their adoption, using primary data obtained from a survey of California avocado growers at the height of the drought during 2012–2013. Results show that farm location, share of income from agricultural production, use of cooperative extension advice, and farmer characteristics, such as age and education, all play important roles in grower adoption of individual and bundled methods to adapt to water scarcity.
