J&K farmers receive Rs 119.67 Cr under crop insurance scheme; Rs 10.15 Cr claims still pending
Srinagar, Aug 8:Farmers in Jammu and Kashmir have received Rs 119.67 crore in crop insurance claims under the Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana (PMFBY) between 2022-23 and 2025-26, while claims worth Rs 10.15 crore remained pending as of July 24, 2026, according to data furnished by the Union Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare in the Rajya Sabha. The figures were provided by Minister of State for Agriculture and Farmers Welfare Ramnath Thakur in response to Unstarred Question No 1452, asked by Rajya Sabha member Ranjeet Ranjan. The question sought State and UT-wise details of premiums collected, claims reported, claims paid and pending claims under PMFBY since 2022. According to Annexure-I of the government reply, J&K farmers contributed Rs 53.97 crore as their share of premium during 2022-23 to 2025-26. Against this, claims amounting to Rs 129.82 crore were reported, of which Rs 119.67 crore had been paid and Rs 10.15 crore remained pending as on July 24, 2026. The data indicates that around 92.2 percent of the reported claim value had been paid, leaving approximately 7.8 percent pending. At the national level, the government reported farmer premium contributions of Rs14,623.05 crore against reported claims of Rs 70,686.44 crore under PMFBY during the same period. Of the reported claims, Rs 66,159.24 crore had been paid, while Rs 4527.20 crore remained pending. This means J&K accounted for about 0.18 percent of the total farmer premium contribution and around 0.18 percent of reported claims under the states and UTs. The government data also provides details of private-sector general insurance companies selected by State Governments through the tendering process for implementation of PMFBY. In Jammu and Kashmir, IFFCO Tokio and IndusInd General were selected for the scheme in each of the years 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024. For 2025, the list expanded to three insurers Bajaj General, IndusInd General, and Kshema General. The data thus shows a change in the insurer mix in J&K from two participating private insurers during 2021-24 to three in 2025. The ministry has clarified that the state-wise insurer details relate to private-sector general insurance companies selected by the respective state governments for implementation of PMFBY through the tendering process. The J&K figure of Rs 10.15 crore in pending claims is considerably lower in absolute terms than the pending claim liabilities reported in several larger agricultural states. Rajasthan had the highest pending claim value in the state-wise table at Rs 890.45 crore, followed by Andhra Pradesh at Rs 2,817.86 crore, Maharashtra at Rs 222.96 crore, Madhya Pradesh at Rs 118.36 crore, and Karnataka at Rs 113.62 crore. Haryana had Rs 103.11 crore pending, while Uttar Pradesh had Rs 81.06 crore. However, the absolute value of pending claims needs to be read alongside the scale of agricultural coverage and claims reported in each State. In J&K, Rs 129.82 crore worth of claims were reported over the four years, with Rs 119.67 crore already paid.

Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari: The Kanpur Superstars are fully prepared to launch their bid for the title in the upcoming edition of the UP T20 League. The franchise will begin its campaign on August 15, squaring off against the Noida Kings at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow. As the 24-day cricketing extravaganza unfolds, the action will eventually shift to the Superstars' home turf. The Green Park Stadium in Kanpur will host the second phase of the tournament starting August 28, culminating in the playoffs and the grand finale on September 6. Following a highly productive player auction, franchise owner Ayush Lalwani expressed his confidence in the newly constructed squad, emphasizing that the management successfully executed its primary strategy. We are very happy with the way the auction went, said Lalwani. Our aim was to build a balanced squad by covering all the key areas, and I believe we have achieved that. We have a good mix of quality batters, bowlers, and all-rounders, and overall we are pleased with the team we have assembled. The squad features a dynamic blend of proven IPL stars and emerging local talent. The batting lineup is bolstered by explosive and experienced batter Sameer Rizvi. The bowling attack will be spearheaded by premier left-arm fast bowler Mohsin Khan. In addition to sheer talent, the franchise strategically invested in leadership and tactical maturity during the auction. We are delighted to have experienced players like Karn Sharma and Mohammed Amaan in our squad, Lalwani noted. Amaan has also captained the India Under-19 team, so both of them bring valuable experience and leadership. We believe they will play an important role in guiding the younger players and strengthening the team. Recognizing the crucial role of state-level cricket in nurturing grassroots talent, the Kanpur Superstars owner commended the UPCA Speed Hunt, a talent-scouting initiative aimed at discovering raw fast-bowling prospects across Uttar Pradesh. The UPCA Speed Hunt is a fantastic initiative. It gives raw and talented players an opportunity to showcase their skills and get noticed, he explained. The UP T20 League provides them with the perfect platform to perform, and from here they can dream of progressing to the IPL and even representing India. Initiatives like these are very important for the future of cricket in the state. He further elaborated on the broader impact of state T20 leagues on the domestic cricket ecosystem. The growth of state leagues has created healthy competition among players. While opportunities in the IPL and the Indian team are limited, these tournaments motivate youngsters to improve their game and perform consistently, Lalwani said. They know that one good season can open bigger doors for them, and that is what makes these leagues so valuable. As the Superstars head into their pre-season preparations, the ownership has set clear expectations for the squad. The most important qualities I expect from my players are focus, discipline, and commitment. If everyone gives their hundred percent and plays for the team, the results will take care of themselves, Lalwani concluded. As the Superstars head into their pre-season preparations, the ownership has set clear expectations for the squad.
