The ruling Telangana Rashtra Samithi’s (TRS) much-publicised farmer direct income support scheme, known as ‘Rythu Bandhu’ scheme, was an initiative and brainchild of Telangana chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao and was launched in 2014. It is an investment support scheme to support the livelihood of farmers in the state of Telangana. The Agriculture and Farmer Welfare Department of Telangana Government introduced the Rythu Bandhu scheme (RBS) in the year 2018.
The key objective of the RBS is to prevent farmers from taking personal loans at obnoxious interest rates and rescue them from financial pitfalls. Under the scheme, farmers will directly get financial support twice a year, i.e. during the two main harvest seasons.
The scheme envisaged by the TRS patriarch provides financial support for agriculture and horticulture crops. The Telangana government is providing farmers Rs 5,000 per acre per season for purchase of inputs like seeds, fertilisers and pesticides, twice a year, for ‘Rabi’ and ‘Kharif’ seasons. According to the state government figures, close to 58 lakh farmers have reaped the scheme’s benefits.
