The main objective of Crop Insurance Scheme is to provide insurance coverage and financial support to the farmers in the event of failure of any of the notified crop as a result of natural calamities, pests & diseases. Hence, it is necessary to know insurance products adopted and constraints of respondents and feedback and suggestion of farmers to the government, policy makers and insurance companies. Crop Insurance perception among the farmers is low. They have low level of knowledge of insurance scheme. Thus overall acceptance is poor.
