The  NAIS  was  implemented  by  25  States  and  2  Union Territories  in  one  more  seasons  since  its  inception  in  Rabi  1999-2000  season.    The scheme was adopted by about 2712 lakh farmers during its implementation from Rabi 1999-2000 to Rabi 2015-16 season and remained popular among farmers especially in the frequent natural calamities like drought, flood etc. prone areas/States.
