      abstract = {farms in Salumber tehsil of Udaipur district during  2008-09. The study has revealed that farm income per
family  is higher on beneficiary farms as compared to  non-beneficiary farms. The progress of crop  insurance
scheme in Rajasthan has been found positive, as  is evidenced through compound and linear growth rates.
In  the Udaipur district, the progress of crop insurance scheme  has been found positive, except the claim
passed to the  number of farmers and amount of sum insured. At the overall  level, the total area insured
under the crop insurance  programme has been only about 45 per cent of the total  cropped area of the
beneficiary farms. Use of inputs such  as human and bullock labour, seed, manures, fertilizers,  pesticides,
etc. has been found significantly higher on  beneficiary farms than non-beneficiary farms. The  beneficiary
farmers have invested more on hired human,  machine and bullock labour, seeds, manures,  fertilizers,
chemicals, etc. mainly because of guaranteed  compensation from the crop insurance scheme.  Positive
elasticity for area in maize and wheat crops in  both the beneficiary categories has indicated the scope  of
further use of this input to increase crop production  and gross income. The majority of beneficiary farmers
have  been found satisfied with crop insurance scheme; however,  they have shown discontent towards
delay in payment of  claim, present basis fixing compensation and inadequate  payment of compensation.
The same response for these  shortcomings has been reported by non-beneficiary group  also.},
