In the newly launched Gujarat Mukhyamantri Kisan Sahay Yojana 2024, farmers will not have to pay any premium amount. This scheme is different from PMFBY in the sense that not a single penny has to be spent by the farmer from their pockets to pay any premium.
This scheme will provide protection to farmers against natural risks like drought, excess or unseasonal rain for current kharif season.

Gujarat government on 10 August 2020 launched a new Mukhyamantri Kisan Sahay Yojana. In this scheme, farmers facing crop losses due to drought, excess rain or unseasonal rain will get compensation. Moreover, govt. will not collect any premium from farmers. This scheme will replace the PM Fasal Bima Yojana (PMFBY) for this year only. Just like crop insurance schemes of other states, the state govt. will invite Mukhyamantri Kisan Sahay Yojana apply online form. Farmers will have to fill the MKSY registration / application form to avail scheme benefits.
Mukhya Mantri Kisan Sahay Yojana Registration / Application Form
To enable farmers to fill Mukhya Mantri Kisan Sahay Yojana online application / registration form, govt. will launch a dedicated portal. As soon as the new website is launched, we will update the portal link and apply process here. This new Gujarat MKSY scheme will benefit around 56 lakh farmers and the process is also simpler than PMFBY.
CM said that "We will be launching a dedicated portal so that farmers can apply online. Tribal farmers registered under the Forest Rights Act are also eligible for this scheme." As the state govt. has already allocated Rs. 1800 crore to pay the crop insurance premium. The same fund will now be utilised for this Mukhyamantri Kisan Sahay Scheme.
No Premium for Crop Insurance in Gujarat Mukhyamantri Kisan Sahay Yojana
Chief Minister also said that "Only for this year, we are replacing PMFBY with the Mukhya Mantri Kisan Sahay Yojana. It is because insurance firms have sought very high premium from us this time. If we approve their tender, the state government will have to pay Rs 4,500 crore towards its share." The amount which is put forward by the insurance companies is much higher than average yearly premium of around Rs. 1800 crore.
CM said that "As the premium amount is high, we have decided not to accept the tender for this year and launch this scheme. Neither the state nor farmers will have to pay any premium this year. Unlike PMFBY, which protects only those farmers who pay premium, our scheme will cover all the farmers, that too with zero premium."
Compensation Amount in Gujarat MKSY Scheme
All the farmers who have sown crops in this season will get benefit in Gujarat Mukhyamantri Kisan Sahay Yojana. The compensation amount will only be given only if the loss of crop is more than 33%. It may be either due to drought or excess rain or due to unseasonal rainfall. Each farmer is eligible to get compensation for maximum 4 hectares of land. For crop loss between 33% and 66%, a farmer will get a compensation of Rs 20,000 per hectare for max. 4 hectares.
For crop loss above 60%, each farmer will get Rs. 25,000 per hectare for maximum four hectares. Apart from the compensation amount, farmers are also eligible to get additional compensation under the State Disaster Response Fund. This will provide relief to all such farmers who are facing distress because of crop loss due to natural calamities.
