India’s New Climate Insurance Products: A Game-Changer for Disaster Resilience

India is transforming its approach to climate resilience with innovative insurance products designed to protect vulnerable communities from financial distress caused by extreme weather events. Climate change has intensified the frequency of natural disasters, including floods, heatwaves, droughts, and erratic rainfall patterns, putting millions of people at risk. Farmers, daily wage laborers, and small businesses often bear the brunt of these climatic shifts, facing income losses, property damage, and disrupted livelihoods. Traditional insurance schemes have proven inadequate due to lengthy claim settlement processes and limited accessibility, leaving affected individuals without timely support. To bridge this gap, India has introduced parametric insurance models that offer instant financial relief based on predefined weather triggers. These insurance products ensure rapid compensation, helping individuals and businesses recover quickly from climate shocks. By adopting such proactive financial solutions, India is setting a precedent for innovative climate risk management, strengthening economic resilience across sectors.

How to Choose the Right Crop Insurance Policy? | Kshema General Insurance

In an unpredictable world where natural disasters can severely impact agricultural productivity, crop insurance serves as a crucial lifeline for farmers. It’s designed to provide financial protection against crop loss or damage due to natural perils like drought, floods, and other unforeseen events. 

1. Understand Your Risks and Coverage Needs

The first step in choosing a crop insurance policy is understanding the specific risks faced by your farm. 

Key Coverage Types:

Yield-based Coverage: This type of coverage protects against significant declines in crop yield due to perils like flood, pests, or disease.

Revenue-based Coverage: This coverage is ideal for protecting your revenue in case of market price fluctuations or yield loss. It ensures that you receive a certain level of income even if crop prices drop.

Comprehensive Coverage: Some policies offer a more extensive form of protection, covering a broad range of risks, from weather-related issues.

2. Research Crop Insurance Providers

Different providers offer varying terms, premiums, and levels of support. It’s crucial to research providers in your area and assess their reputation for handling claims efficiently. 

Questions to Ask When Evaluating Providers:

– How long have they been providing crop insurance?

– Do they have a good reputation among local farmers?

3. Compare Policy Options and Costs

Comparing policy options is essential to find the best crop insurance policy for your needs. Look beyond the premium cost to understand what you’re actually getting. Often, cheaper policies might have limited coverage, which may not be beneficial in case of significant crop loss.

Key Aspects to Compare:

Premiums: Compare premium rates from multiple providers. However, a lower premium isn’t always the best choice if it comes with reduced coverage.

Payout Limits: Look for any limitations on the payout amount. Some policies might cap their payouts, which could leave you underinsured during large-scale losses.

Understanding the importance of crop Insurance | Kshema General Insurance

Farming in India is not just an occupation; it is a way of life for millions of small and marginal farmers. However, the unpredictable nature of agriculture—driven by erratic weather and market fluctuations — makes it one of the riskiest livelihoods. For a small farmer, a single failed crop can lead to catastrophic financial consequences, trapping them in a cycle of debt and poverty. 

This is where crop insurance becomes a game-changer. Despite its affordability, many farmers fail to understand the importance of crop insurance.

Why Farmers Avoid Crop Insurance 

Despite its numerous benefits, many farmers in India fail to understand the Importance of Crop Insurance and remain uninsured. The reasons include: 

Lack of Awareness: Many farmers are unaware of crop insurance schemes or how they work. 

Perceived Cost: Farmers assume that the insurance premiums are expensive, without realising how affordable they can be. 

Complex Processes: Farmers often feel intimidated by the documentation and procedures involved in insurance enrollment. 

These misconceptions prevent farmers from taking advantage of a safety net that can save them from financial ruin.

Easy Enrollment: Hassle-free, mobile app-based processes to make crop insurance accessible to all farmers.   

Timely Compensation: Quick claim settlements to help farmers recover and restart their operations.  

Customisation: Choice of 2 perils among a list of 8 predefined perils so that the farmers pay for only what they perceive as a danger to their crops.  

By enrolling in Kshema Sukriti, farmers can avoid the crippling financial burden of crop failures and secure their livelihoods.

[mariacallous]

What would you want to tell the next U.S. president? FP asked nine thinkers from around the world to write a letter with their advice for him or her.

Dear Madam or Mr. President,

Congratulations on your election as president of the United States. You take office at a moment of enormous consequence for a world directly impacted by the twin challenges of energy security and climate change.

Democrats and Republicans disagree on many aspects of energy and climate policy. Yet your administration has the chance to chart a policy path forward that unites both parties around core areas of agreement to advance the U.S. national interest.

First, all should agree that climate change is real and worsening. The escalating threat of climate change is increasingly evident to anyone walking the streets of Phoenix in the summer, buying flood insurance in southern Florida, farming rice in Vietnam, or laboring outdoors in Pakistan. This year will almost certainly surpass 2023 as the warmest year on record.

Second, just as the energy revolution that made the United States the world’s largest oil and gas producer strengthened it economically and geopolitically, so will ensuring U.S. leadership in clean energy technologies enhance the country’s geostrategic position. In a new era of great-power competition, China’s dominance in certain clean energy technologies—such as batteries and cobalt, lithium, graphite, and other critical minerals needed for clean energy products—threatens America’s economic competitiveness and the resilience of its energy supply chains. China’s overcapacity in manufacturing relative to current and future demand undermines investments in the United States and other countries and distorts demand signals that allow the most innovative and efficient firms to compete in the global market.

Third, using less oil in our domestic economy reduces our vulnerability to global oil supply disruptions, such as conflict in the Middle East or attacks on tankers in the Red Sea. Even with the surge in U.S. oil production, the price of oil is set in the global market, so drivers feel the pain of oil price shocks regardless of how much oil the United States imports. True energy security comes from using less, not just producing more.

Fourth, energy security risks extend beyond geopolitics and require investing adequately in domestic energy supply to meet changing circumstances. Today, grid operators and regulators are increasingly warning that the antiquated U.S. electricity system, already adjusting to handle rising levels of intermittent solar and wind energy, is not prepared for growing electricity demand from electric cars, data centers, and artificial intelligence. These reliability concerns were evident when an auction this summer set a price nine times higher than last year’s to be paid by the nation’s largest grid operator to power generators that ensure power will be available when needed. A reliable and affordable power system requires investments in grids as well as diverse energy resources, from cheap but intermittent renewables to storage to on-demand power plants.

Fifth, expanding clean energy sectors in the rest of the world is in the national interest because doing so creates economic opportunities for U.S. firms, diversifies global energy supply chains away from China, and enhances U.S. soft power in rapidly growing economies. (In much the same way, the Marshall Plan not only rebuilt a war-ravaged Europe but also advanced U.S. economic interests, countered Soviet influence, and helped U.S. businesses.) Doing so is especially important in rising so-called middle powers, such as Brazil, India, or Saudi Arabia, that are intent on keeping their diplomatic options open and aligning with the United States or China as it suits them transactionally.

To prevent China from becoming a superpower in rapidly growing clean energy sectors, and thereby curbing the benefits the United States derives from being such a large oil and gas producer, your administration should increase investments in research and development for breakthrough clean energy technologies and boost domestic manufacturing of clean energy. Toward these ends, your administration should quickly finalize outstanding regulatory guidance to allow companies to access federal incentives. Your administration should also work with the other side of the aisle to provide the market with certainty that long-term tax incentives for clean energy deployment—which have bipartisan support and have already encouraged historic levels of private investment—will remain in place. Finally, your administration should work with Congress to counteract the unfair competitive advantage that nations such as China receive by manufacturing industrial products with higher greenhouse gas emissions. Such a carbon import tariff, as proposed with bipartisan support, should be paired with a domestic carbon fee to harmonize the policy with that of other nations—particularly the European Union’s planned carbon border adjustment mechanism.

Your ability to build a strong domestic industrial base in clean energy will be aided by sparking more domestic clean energy use. This is already growing quickly as market forces respond to rapidly falling costs. Increasing America’s ability to produce energy is also necessary to maintain electricity grid reliability and meet the growing needs of data centers and AI. To do so, your administration should prioritize making it easier to build energy infrastructure at scale, which today is the greatest barrier to boosting U.S. domestic energy production. On average, it takes more than a decade to build a new high-voltage transmission line in the United States, and the current backlog of renewable energy projects waiting to be connected to the power grid is twice as large as the electricity system itself. It takes almost two decades to bring a new mine online for the metals and minerals needed for clean energy products, such as lithium and copper.

The permitting reform bill recently negotiated by Sens. Joe Manchin and John Barrasso is a good place to start, but much more needs to be done to reform the nation’s permitting system—while respecting the need for sound environmental reviews and the rights of tribal communities. In addition, reforming the way utilities operate in the United States can increase the incentives that power companies have not just to build new infrastructure but to use existing infrastructure more efficiently. Such measures include deploying batteries to store renewable energy and rewiring old transmission lines with advanced conductors that can double the amount of power they move.

Grid reliability will also require more electricity from sources that are available at all times, known as firm power. Your administration should prioritize making it easier to construct power plants with advanced nuclear technology—which reduce costs, waste, and safety concerns—and to produce nuclear power plant fuel in the United States. Doing so also benefits U.S. national security, as Russia is building more than one-third of new nuclear reactors around the world to bolster its geostrategic influence. While Russia has been the leading exporter of reactors, China has by far the most reactors under construction at home and is thus poised to play an even bigger role in the international market going forward. The United States also currently imports roughly one-fifth of its enriched uranium from Russia. To counter this by building a stronger domestic nuclear industry, your administration should improve the licensing and approval process of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and reform the country’s nuclear waste management policies. In addition to nuclear power, your administration should also make it easier to permit geothermal power plants, which today can play a much larger role in meeting the nation’s energy needs thanks to recent innovations using technology advanced by the oil and gas sector for shale development.

Even with progress on all these challenges, it is unrealistic to expect that the United States can produce all the clean energy products it needs domestically. It will take many years to diminish China’s lead in critical mineral supply, battery manufacturing, and solar manufacturing. The rate of growth needed in clean energy is too overwhelming, and China’s head start is too great to diversify supply chains away from it if the United States relies solely on domestic manufacturing or that of a few friendly countries. As a result, diminishing China’s dominant position requires that your administration expand economic cooperation and trade partnerships with a vast number of other nations. Contrary to today’s protectionist trends, the best antidote to concerns about China’s clean technology dominance is more trade, not less.

Your administration should also strengthen existing tools that increase the supply of clean energy products in emerging and developing economies in order to diversify supply chains and counter China’s influence in these markets. For example, the U.S. International Development Finance Corp. (DFC) can be a powerful tool to support U.S. investment overseas, such as in African or Latin American projects to mine, refine, and process critical minerals. As DFC comes up for reauthorization next year, you should work with Congress to provide DFC with more resources and also change the way federal budgeting rules account for equity investments; this would allow DFC to make far more equity investments even with its existing funding. Your administration can also use DFC to encourage private investment in energy projects in emerging and developing economies by reducing the risk investors face from fluctuations in local currency that can significantly limit their returns or discourage their investment from the start. The U.S. Export-Import Bank is another tool to support the export of U.S. clean tech by providing financing for U.S. goods and services competing with foreign firms abroad.

Despite this country’s deep divisions and polarization, leaders of both parties should agree that bolstering clean energy production in the United States and in a broad range of partner countries around the world is in America’s economic and security interests.

I wish you much success in this work, which will also be the country’s success.

EVERYONE RECALLS THE SHORTAGES of toilet paper and pasta, but the early period of the pandemic was also a time of gluts. With restaurants and school cafeterias shuttered, farmers in Florida destroyed millions of pounds of tomatoes, cabbages, and green beans. After meatpacking plants began closing, farmers in Minnesota and Iowa euthanized hundreds of thousands of hogs to avoid overcrowding. Across the country, from Ohio to California, dairies poured out millions of gallons of milk and poultry farms smashed millions of eggs.

The supply chain disruptions continue. Last year, there was a rice glut, and big box stores like Walmart and Target complained of bloated inventories. There was a natural gas glut in both Europe and in India, as well as a surfeit of semiconductor chips in the tech sector. Florida cabbages, microchips, and Asian rice may not seem like they have much in common, but each of these stories represents a fundamental if disavowed aspect of capitalism: a crisis of overproduction.

All economic systems have problems of scarcity, but only capitalism also has problems of abundance. The reason is simple: the pursuit of profit above all else leads capitalism to produce too much of things that are profitable but socially destructive (oil, private health insurance, Facebook) and not enough of things that are socially beneficial but not privately profitable (low-income housing, public schools, the ecosystem of the Amazon rainforest). For over a century, from the Industrial Revolution through the Great Depression, crises of overproduction were the target of criticism from across the political spectrum—from aristocratic conservatives like Edmund Burke who feared the anarchy of markets was corroding the social order to socialist radicals like Eugene Debs who thought it generated exploitation and poverty.

But the idea of capitalism’s inherent predilection for overproduction has almost completely disappeared from economic discourse today. It seldom appears in the popular press, including in stories about producers destroying surpluses, a problem that is instead explained away by pointing to freak accidents, contingencies, and unforeseen dislocations. To be sure, many gluts of the past few years have been the result of the pandemic and the war in Ukraine. But overproduction preceded 2020 and shows no signs of going away. Revisiting historical arguments about the problem can help us better understand the interlocking crises of supply chain disruption, deliquescent financial markets, and climate change. The history of overproduction and its discontents offers a set of tools and ideas with which to consider whether “market failures” like externalities and inventory surpluses really are exceptions or are intrinsic to commercial society, whether markets ever actually do equilibrate, and whether the drive for growth is possible without continual excess and waste.

About the Achievements of Uzbekistan's Economy: Anvar Mullabekov's Perspective

Anvar Mullabekov is a businessman from Tashkent whose professional activities are closely related to the aviation industry. He is well-known in his professional field both in his homeland and beyond.

Recently, the second Tashkent International Investment Forum (TIIF-2023) concluded, confirming the growing interest of the global business community in Uzbekistan's investment development.

Anvar Mullabekov closely follows such significant economic and financial events in Uzbekistan. His education and experience in Innovation Management and Financial Management, as well as his training at Stanford University and in London, enable him to deeply understand the importance and impact of such events on the country's economy and the region. Anvar Mullabekov's specialization in aviation leasing, financing, insurance, and aviation risk management makes him interested in events that can stimulate growth and innovation in these industries. Anvar Mullabekov actively participates in projects not only in Central Asia but also in European countries, the Middle East, Africa, and the Asia-Pacific region. This means that he is directly involved in international investments and business projects. The successful conduct of major economic forums like TIIF-2023 can contribute to attracting investments and expanding business connections, which, in turn, will have a positive impact on his own projects and interests.

TIIF-2023 gathered around 2,500 representatives from the business and financial sectors from 70 countries, including the USA, EU, UK, Turkey, China, India, Egypt, CIS countries, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East. This is a significant growth compared to the first similar forum in 2022, which was attended by more than two thousand guests from 56 countries.

While last year saw the signing of 105 documents totaling $7.8 billion, TIIF-2023 resulted in 164 agreements and contracts worth $11 billion. These figures clearly demonstrate the expanding interest of foreign investors in cooperation with Uzbekistan.

Anvar Mullabekov believes that the success of TIIF-2023 is due to Uzbekistan confidently gaining momentum in its economic growth during the post-pandemic period amid the turbulence of the global economy. The country's gross domestic product increased by 5.5 percent in the first quarter of 2023. The favorable investment climate of Uzbekistan has also undergone significant improvements.

During TIIF-2023, it was noted that after the 2022 forum, systemic reforms aimed at further liberalizing the economy were accelerated.

In the field of taxation, the value-added tax rate was reduced from 20 percent to 12 percent. Dividend income received by foreign investors from shares is exempt from income tax for a period of three years, and the corporate income tax rate for them is also reduced from 20 percent to 12 percent.

Anvar Mullabekov is confident that such measures stimulate the inflow of foreign investments and contribute to the development of local entrepreneurship. Uzbekistan is actively developing its infrastructure, establishing industrial parks and technopolises, which creates new opportunities for investors and enables job creation for the population.

Additionally, Uzbekistan collaborates with international financial institutions and implements large-scale infrastructure projects, which also serves as an additional incentive for foreign investors.

Diversification of industrial production and innovative activities is an important direction for the country's economic development. Uzbekistan seeks to create conditions for the growth of high-tech industries, making the country attractive to technology companies and research centers.

Anvar Mullabekov is convinced that overall, the increasing interest in Uzbekistan from foreign investors and the successes in implementing economic reforms are important indicators of the country's stable and sustainable development. However, it is crucial to continue working in this direction

Set Your Journey Right with Must-Have Travel Essentials

Traveling smart starts with knowing what to pack. In a fast-paced world where travel has become an integral part of life, ensuring you have the right essentials can make all the difference. This guide breaks down every category of travel must-haves with practical advice, real-world examples from the Indian market, and insights backed by research and statistics.

Why Travel Essentials Matter for Stress-Free Journeys

Traveling without a plan can lead to stress, delays, and unforeseen expenses. Studies have shown that travelers who use a well-prepared checklist are 30% less likely to encounter issues on the road. Research by Consumer Reports indicates that a smart packing strategy improves travel satisfaction by reducing last-minute rush and mishaps.

For example, many travelers in India, including those booking through Tejas Travels – a renowned tour and travels company – report enhanced travel experiences when they follow a detailed packing list. The benefits range from avoiding overpacking to being prepared for sudden weather changes. Carrying the right items not only safeguards your health but also ensures you remain comfortable and efficient during your trip.

Build a Versatile Travel Wardrobe for Every Climate

Choosing clothing and accessories that work for multiple scenarios is key. Indian travelers often face diverse climates—from the humid coasts of Kerala to the chilly peaks of Himachal Pradesh. Here’s how to build a versatile travel wardrobe:

Layering Basics: Invest in lightweight, moisture-wicking fabrics. Brands like Patagonia and The North Face offer garments that suit varying temperatures.

Accessories: A good pair of sunglasses, a hat, and a versatile scarf can enhance your look and protect you from harsh weather.

Real-World Tip: Many experienced travelers in India recommend packing items that can be easily mixed and matched. This approach not only saves space but also offers style flexibility during long journeys.

Using a packing cube or a well-organized suitcase can further simplify the process, ensuring you have what you need without unnecessary clutter.

Portable Chargers: A power bank ensures your smartphone and other devices stay charged.

Noise-Canceling Headphones: Ideal for long journeys, especially on bus travel where ambient noise can be distracting.

Smartphone Apps: Google Maps for navigation and TripIt for itinerary management are indispensable tools.

Real-world example: Many travelers booking bus travel services in India, such as those offered by local bus rental service providers, use mobile apps to track bus schedules, plan routes, and stay updated on any changes. This integration of technology makes travel more efficient and enjoyable.

Stay Protected: Health & Safety Essentials on the Go

No trip is complete without a focus on health and safety. Whether you’re traveling across states or internationally, a well-stocked health kit can be a lifesaver. Data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) shows that travelers with basic health supplies are 25% more prepared for unexpected situations.

Include in your health kit:

First Aid Supplies: Adhesive bandages, antiseptic wipes, and pain relievers.

Hygiene Products: Hand sanitizer, disinfecting wipes, and travel-sized soaps.

Emergency Medications: Personal prescriptions and over-the-counter medications for common ailments.

Travel Insurance: Companies like Allianz Travel and World Nomads provide plans that cater to varied needs, protecting you against unforeseen emergencies.

For instance, while exploring destinations in India, many tourists find comfort knowing they have these essentials on hand. Tejas Travels often recommends these items to ensure a safe and smooth journey.

Organize Your Travel Documents and Digital Tools

Keeping your documents, money, and digital tools in order is fundamental. Losing a passport or misplacing travel itineraries can disrupt your plans. According to a survey by TripAdvisor, organized travelers are 40% less likely to face travel delays.

Focus on:

Travel Documents: Ensure your passport, visa, and other travel permits are secure. Use a travel wallet to store these items safely.

Money Management: Carry a mix of cash and cards. Consider a money belt to keep your valuables secure.

Digital Tools: Download apps like Google Maps, TripIt, and local currency converters. These help you stay on track and make informed decisions on the go.

A practical example: A business traveler heading to Mumbai found that using digital copies of documents and keeping money secure in a travel wallet reduced stress and saved time. This simple step is recommended by many travel experts.

Tailor Your Essentials for Every Destination

Not all trips are the same. Whether you’re planning an urban adventure in Delhi, a beach vacation in Goa, or an off-road expedition in Rajasthan, your essentials should match the destination.

Urban Travel: For city trips, focus on lightweight clothing, comfortable walking shoes, and portable gadgets. City tours often involve long hours on your feet.

Beach Holidays: In Goa or Kerala, include swimwear, sunscreen, and waterproof bags to protect your electronics.

Adventure Trips: For mountain or desert expeditions, pack durable clothing, hiking boots, and extra layers.

Specialty Services: When planning group trips or events like weddings, consider hiring a wedding bus hire service to manage large groups efficiently. In India, such services are popular for their convenience and cost-effectiveness.

For every type of travel, customizing your essentials based on the destination ensures you’re well-prepared and comfortable throughout your journey.

Understanding the importance of crop Insurance | Kshema General Insurance

Farming in India is not just an occupation; it is a way of life for millions of small and marginal farmers.

Lack of Awareness: Many farmers are unaware of crop insurance schemes or how they work. 

Perceived Cost: Farmers assume that the insurance premiums are expensive, without realising how affordable they can be. 

Complex Processes: Farmers often feel intimidated by the documentation and procedures involved in insurance enrollment. 

These misconceptions prevent farmers from taking advantage of a safety net that can save them from financial ruin.

Revitalizing Agriculture: Naidu's Focus on Farmer Welfare and Irrigation Projects

Agriculture, the backbone of India's economy, plays a crucial role in the country's socio-economic fabric. For decades, Indian farmers have faced numerous challenges, including erratic weather patterns, insufficient irrigation, and low profitability. Recognizing these issues, N. Chandrababu Naidu, the former Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh, emphasized the revitalization of the agriculture sector during his tenure, with a clear focus on farmer welfare and N Chandrababu Naiduadministration was characterized by a forward-thinking approach to farming, integrating technology, enhancing infrastructure, and ensuring that policies prioritized the welfare of farmers. His leadership saw the implementation of key programs aimed at improving irrigation systems, increasing farm productivity, and ensuring better income for farmers.

One of the cornerstones of Naidu’s agricultural reform was his emphasis on irrigation. Andhra Pradesh, despite its agrarian economy, has historically faced challenges with water availability due to its semi-arid climate. Farmers often found themselves at the mercy of monsoon rains, leading to inconsistent crop yields and frequent droughts.N Chandrababu Naidu envisioned transforming the state into a drought-free region by expanding irrigation networks. Under his leadership, significant projects like the Pattiseema Lift Irrigation Project were launched. Completed in record time, it became the first river-linking project in India and addressed water scarcity in the drought-prone Rayalaseema region. This project also ensured that the Krishna River delta, a major rice-growing region, received adequate water throughout the year, benefiting thousands of farmers. Additionally,the N Chandrababu Naiduadministration worked on improving the capacity of existing reservoirs and constructing new ones, ensuring more reliable water storage and distribution. Projects likePolavaramand Handri-Neeva were designed to tap the potential of interlinking rivers and expanding water access to under-served regions. These large-scale initiatives not only brought water to drought-hit areas but also had a direct impact on increasing crop cycles, allowing farmers to grow more than one crop per year, thereby boosting their incomes. In addition to infrastructure projects, Naidu was a strong proponent of technology in agriculture. He believed that empowering farmers with modern tools and practices could dramatically improve productivity. His government promoted the use of precision agriculture, drip irrigation, and weatherforecasting technologies. Farmers were encouraged to adopt new-age farming techniques like organic farming, mechanized plowing, and high-yield crop varieties. N Chandrababu Naiduadministration also invested heavily in creating a digital infrastructure that would benefit the farming community. The introduction of real-time digital platforms allowed farmers to access vital information about market prices, weather forecasts, and crop health. This helped reduce the exploitation of farmers by middlemen, giving them direct access to buyers and better control over pricing.

N Chandrababu Naidu'spolicies didn’t just stop at improving agriculture but extended to welfare programs aimed at directly benefiting farmers. Schemes such as input subsidies, crop insurance, and interest-free loans were introduced to provide much-needed financial relief to farmers. His government also focused on setting up better marketing facilities for agricultural produce, ensuring that farmers got fair prices for their goods. By focusing on irrigation projects and integrating technology into farming, he sought to make agriculture a sustainable and profitable endeavor. His policies were aimed at securing water for all farmers and ensuring their long-term welfare, creating a roadmap for agricultural prosperity not only in Andhra Pradesh but across India.
