“…Additionally, biases in official loss assessments, complexities in enrollment procedures, and a lack of precise knowledge regarding the financial assistance amount guaranteed under the scheme further compound economic challenges. These findings are consistent with prior research by Husain and Sundaramari [9] and Jamanal et al [11] Furthermore, insurance companies play a direct role in assessing losses outlined in the PMFBY, but due to farmers' limited awareness of government schemes, significant portions of funds allocated for farmers are often retained by insurance companies, thereby covering a notable margin.…”

“…The difficulty in acquiring adequate protection, a lack of technical motivation or advice, and the fact that the majority of farmers do not use Android mobile phones are the other minor challenges that farmers encounter while embracing various government programmes.

Government schemes in agriculture are essential for fostering sectoral development, providing financial support, and implementing strategic initiatives to enhance the overall well-being and productivity of farmers. The current research was conducted during the fiscal year 2021-22, involving the collection of data from a sample of 480 farmers in the state of Rajasthan. The purpose of the study was to identify various constraints faced by farmers in adopting government schemes in the state of Rajasthan. Study was carried out in Ajmer, Alwar, Jodhpur and Udaipur districts of Rajasthan by collecting primary data through pre-tested well-structured questionnaire. Employing the Garrett ranking technique, the research identifies notable technical constraints, including low landholding (especially in the Udaipur region), lack of awareness about government schemes, and communication gaps between farmers and extension workers. Economic hurdles encompass delayed claims under schemes (PMFBY, PMKSY), insufficient financial support, and high initial investments (PMKSY). Marketing challenges are underscored by the prevalence of numerous middlemen (PMFBY). The primary administrative barrier to farmers adopting government schemes is the untimely availability of agricultural supervisors. This study provides valuable insights into the impediments affecting the successful implementation of farmer-centric initiatives in the region. The study revealed that the adoption level of government schemes can be increased by conducting regular trainings in rural areas, focusing more on method demonstration of new technologies etc.
