## ANSWER

कृ ष एवं कसान कयाण मंी (SHRI NARENDRA SINGH TOMAR)

(a) to (c): Besides,  under  Pradhan  Mantri  Fasal  Bima  Yojana  (PMFBY),  claims  are provided  to  insured  farmers  for  notified  crops  against  the  shortfall  in  yield  due  to  adverse climatic conditions as per the formula envisaged in operational guidelines of the scheme. A statement containing details of claims paid under PMFBY for Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh is placed at Annexure.

The  financial  assistance  under  State  Disaster  Response  Fund  (SDRF)  /  National Disaster Response Fund (NDRF) in the wake of notified natural disasters is given by way of relief  and  not  as  compensation  of  loss  as  suffered/claimed.  Extreme  rainfall  has  not  been notified as a natural calamity by the Government of India. State Governments may however use up to 10 per cent of the funds available under the SDRF for providing immediate relief to the victims of natural disasters that they consider to be 'disasters' within the local context in the State and which are not included in the notified list of disasters of the Ministry of Home Affairs,  Government  of  India  and  incur  expenditure  as  per  the  SDRF/NDRF  guidelines, issued by Government of India (Ministry of Home Affairs) on 08.04.2015.

Annexure referred to in parts (a) to (c) of the Lok Sabha Unstarred Question No. 327 due for answer on 19.11.2019
