National Agricultural Insurance Scheme

The National Agricultural Insurance Scheme (NAIS) is a government-backed program that helps farmers protect themselves against crop failures caused by natural disasters like droughts, floods, or pests. Farmers pay a small premium, and if their crops are damaged, the scheme provides financial compensation to help cover their losses. The goal is to reduce farmers' risks, encourage investment in agriculture, and promote food security. NAIS covers both individual farmers and cooperatives across India, making crop insurance more accessible and ensuring farmers have support during tough times.
