food security. India is a developing country around 60–70 percent of Indian population (directly or indirectly) is
depending upon Agriculture sector and currently it contributes 16–17% of the GDP. Farming business involves various type
of risk such as uncertainties in weather, yields, prices, Government policies, global markets, and other factors that impact
the income of farmers. Hence the government has introduced crop Insurance to protect farmers from production risk
because of unfavorable weather. But the acceptance and the effect of crop Insurance is not up to the mark. Hence there is a
