Question 4 of 5
4. Question
1 pointsWith which of the following states is the ‘Beed model’ of the crop insurance related to?
Correct
What is the ‘Beed Model’?- Beed is a district located in the drought-prone Marathwada region. The district presents a challenge for any insurance company because farmers here have repeatedly lost crops either to failure of rains or to heavy rains. Given the high payouts, insurance companies have sustained losses.
To attract the insurance companies, the state Agriculture Department decided to tweak the PMFBY guidelines for the district. Under the new guidelines, the insurance company provided a cover of 110% of the premium collected, with caveats.
If the compensation exceeded the cover provided, the state government would pay the bridge amount. If the compensation was less than the premium collected, the insurance company would keep 20% of the amount as handling charges and reimburse the rest to the state government.Incorrect
