Abstract

The present study was conducted in Namakkal District of Tamil Nadu to explore the perceived effectiveness of insurance services offered by different dairy service delivery systems. A total of 120 respondents were selected for the study by stratified proportionate random sampling method and the data were collected by personal interview method using pre-tested interview schedule. The respondents predominantly availed the insurance facilities from dairy cooperatives (56.67%), followed by public departments (21.67%) while meagre percentage of the respondents received the insurance services benefit from private integrators (8.33%). Based on the mean weighted score, the dairy farmers perceived the insurance services of dairy cooperatives and state animal husbandry departments were equally effective in terms of their accessibility, coverage, premium charges, administrative procedure and claiming.
