Karnataka Ranks Second in Crop Insurance Scheme

The Karnataka government received a special award for doing a great job with a program that helps farmers when their crops get damaged.

This program, called PMFBY, gives money to farmers to protect them from losing their crops due to natural disasters, pests, or diseases.

Karnataka was ranked second among large states for how well they managed this program during two farming seasons.

A lot of farmers in Karnataka have used this program to get money back when their crops were damaged.

The award was given to the state's agriculture officials during a big meeting in Bengaluru.
