Of the total claim amount, Rs 1,156 crore will be transferred to farmers in Madhya Pradesh, Rs 1,121 crore to 7 lakh farmers in Rajasthan, Rs 150 crore to Chhattisgarh-based farmers, and Rs 773 crore to farmers in other states, according to an official statement.
The Union agriculture minister stated that the Centre has implemented a new simplified claim settlement system in the interest of farmers, wherein claims can be paid proportionately based only on the central subsidy without waiting for the state's premium contribution.

"From the Kharif 2025 season onwards, if a state government delays its subsidy contribution, it will be penalised at 12 per cent, and similarly, if insurance companies delay payments, farmers will receive a 12 per cent penalty," he said in the statement.
The PMFBY, since its launch in 2016, has disbursed claims worth Rs 1.83 lakh crore, while farmers have paid only Rs 35,864 crore in premium.
"This means an average claim payout of more than five times the premium, indicating the government's farmer-friendly policy," he added.
In recent years, several technological innovations, such as YES-TECH, WINDS portal, AIDE mobile app, Krishi Rakshak Portal and Helpline number 14447, have been implemented.
These have not only improved the claim settlement speed and transparency, but also enhanced weather data accuracy and provided farmers with registration facilities at the village level.

Stalin hits out at Centre, pushes for state's rights
Tamil Nadu chief minister and DMK president M K Stalin in his Independence Day speech said state governments are closer to the people, and need greater power but with Union laws, court judgments, and discrimination in devolution of funds, states are being pushed into dependence on the Union Government. Chennai: Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin during the 79th Independence Day celebration at the State Secretariat, in Chennai on August 15(PTI) 'In the last few years, we have seen many attempts by the Union government to take away rights of the state governments in various sectors. State rights in key areas such as education and healthcare are instead being continuously eroded,' Stalin said, speaking at Fort St. George in Chennai on Friday after hoisting the national flag. 'The only solution to overcome this is to take political and legal steps to restore the role of state governments and devolution of power and funds.' That a state government has to always struggle, argue and file court cases to get its rightful funds from the Centre does not augur well for federalism, the chief minister said. 'After 14 years, in our Dravidian model regime, Tamil Nadu's economic growth has increased to 11.9 per cent and has touched a great new high,' he said and reiterated that the southern state is the fastest developing economy in India. Such a growth was not shared by any other big state.'The nation's growth rate itself is 6.5 per cent. However, Tamil Nadu has achieved 11.19 per cent growth,' he added. The CM conferred the Thagaisal Thamizhar (Distinguished Tamilian) Award on Indian Union Muslim League leader, 85-year old KM Khader Mohideen at the I-Day event. ISRO Chairman V Narayanan was presented with the Dr APJ Abdul Kalam Award. Awards under several other categories were also presented. Stalin who boycotted governor R N Ravi's 'at home' reception hosted in the Raj Bhavan on Independence Day over his attack on the ruling party, reiterated his criticism of the BJP-led Union government. 'It is not good for the federal principles of India for states to always have to fight, argue and file lawsuits to get its due funds. This will affect the development of the state as well as India,' Stalin said. A day ago, on Thursday, Stalin had decided to boycott the event at Raj Bhavan after the governor tore into the ruling DMK in his customary speech delivered on the eve of Independence Day, adding to the already soured relationship between governor Ravi and the Tamil Nadu government. DMK's allies, Congress, CPI (M), CPI, Viduthalai Chiruthaikal Katchi (VCK) and Manithaneya Makkal Katchi (MMK), also boycotted the event to protest against the governor, who they alleged, was acting against the interests of the state. The governor charged that the state is facing four major challenges– educational and social discrimination of the poor and marginalised; alarming rise in suicides; fast spreading drug abuse among youth; and steep rise in rape and other sexual offences against women and girls. Since Ravi became governor in 2021, he has been in loggerheads with the government over myriad issues by supporting policies of the BJP-led Centre such as NEP, NEET, walking out of the assembly without reading his customary speech and omitting portions of the speech prepared by the state, changing the name of Tamil Nadu to Tamizhagam in a public invitation released by the Raj Bhavan. But, it was his sitting on bills passed by the state legislation that led the government to move court against him based on which the Supreme Court in a landmark verdict on April 8 set deadlines for the President and governors to clear the bills passed by state legislatures. The top court also found governor Ravi's action keeping bills pending as illegal. President Droupadi Murmu on May 13 put forth 14 questions before the Supreme Court on constitutionality of its April 8 verdict. In response on Thursday, higher education minister Govi Chezhiaan said that the governor's actions as chancellor is the reason for many state universities functioning without vice chancellors. He announced that he will boycott two convocations at Alagappa University and Thiruvalluvar University to be held on August 18 and 19 while the chief minister will skip the governor's event.

We would have been plagued by worries over who might supply us, whether we would get the required equipment, and so on.'The Prime Minister also announced the Sudarshan Chakra Mission for creating a complete security cover for all civilian installations across the country in the near the 21st century is a 'technology-driven century,' it is imperative that India does not lag behind, the Prime Minister said, adding that every nation that mastered technology scaled the heights of development and attained new dimensions of economic lamented that although India began the process of building infrastructure for semiconductor manufacture six decades ago, the plan was stalled, delayed and shelved while other countries mastered the technology and strengthened their position.'Today we have freed ourselves from that burden and advanced the work on semiconductors in mission mode,' Modi said.

Are you secretly being 'Quiet Fired'? Top red flags your boss won't admit
Not all departures at work today are announced with a layoff notice or a "we need to talk" meeting. The process can be quiet, long, and purposely uncomfortable at times. This is a tactic that is now widely known as " quiet firing ." "Quiet firing" is a trend in the workplace that has been around for a long time, but it's getting more attention now that more people are working from home or in a hybrid setting. Experts say that these silent tactics can be just as harmful as an outright firing, from lessening responsibilities to being left out of meetings. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like AirSense 11 – Smart tech for deep sleep ResMed Buy Now Undo A 2025 HRTech survey found that 53% of U.S. managers admit to using quiet-firing strategies. In a previous poll, almost half of LinkedIn users said they had either experienced it themselves or seen it happen, as per a report by USA Today. ALSO READ : Apple's iPhone 17 color lineup leaks: Stunning new hues spark frenzy online Live Events What are the first signs of quiet firing? The signs usually start out small and get bigger over time. Not being invited to meetings you used to go to or decisions you used to help make is one of the most obvious red flags. You might see projects moving forward without you or group discussions happening without you. Another sign is that responsibilities are changing. This could mean being given too much work that is impossible to do, or the opposite: being given pointless tasks that keep you from doing your real work. Experts say that if you ask about the changes and get vague or no answers, you should pay attention, as per a report by USA Today. Withdrawing support is another sneaky but harmful tactic. This can make workers feel alone and like they can't meet expectations, which can hurt their confidence and job satisfaction over time. Your career may also come to a standstill. Promotions, raises, and chances to grow go away, and one-on-one meetings turn into quick, shallow check-ins instead of useful talks about the future, as per a report by USA Today. Why do employers fire people quietly? Different people have different reasons. Some leaders think it's a way to avoid the costs and risks of firing someone formally, like severance pay and possible legal battles. Others think it will encourage people to leave on their own during times of restructuring. Some companies have also used the push to get people back to work as a way to fire people quietly. They know that some employees might quit instead of following strict rules at work. BambooHR's research found that almost 37% of executives thought layoffs happened because fewer employees quit during RTO than expected. This means that the policy was meant to push people out in part, as per a report by USA Today. It's easier to do quiet firing in remote and hybrid work settings. Without seeing each other every day, managers can quietly leave out employees and give them fewer duties without anyone noticing. How can you protect yourself and respond? If you think you might be getting fired without anyone telling you, the best thing to do is to talk about it directly. Ask for clear expectations, measurable goals, and feedback in writing. Sometimes, standing up for yourself can change things in your favor. It's just as important to keep yourself safe. Keep track of all your communications, save your emails, and note any changes in your duties or performance reviews. Keep these papers on a personal device so you can get to them if things get worse, as per a report by USA Today. Not all quiet firing is bad; some managers just don't know how to give honest feedback about performance. However, it can still change a person's career. Employees can keep their career on track and, if necessary, plan their own exit by noticing the signs early and taking action.

It's when an employer makes a job so bad that an employee feels like they have to quit instead of being fired. Is it possible to stop quiet firing from getting you fired? Yes, by noticing the signs early, dealing with problems head-on, and keeping a record of changes to your role.
