No Rythu Bharosa in immediate sight for farmers of Telangana

The wait of farmers in the State to receive the Rythu Bharosa farm investment support is likely to go on for some more time. Agriculture Minister Tummala Nageswara Rao on Wednesday hinted that the framework for the scheme would be finalised only after the implementation of the farm loan waiver scheme by the end of



August.

Speaking during the Question Hour in the Legislative Council on Wednesday, Nageswara Rao said the State government was committed to providing Rs.15,000 per acre per annum under Rythu Bharosa. A Cabinet sub-committee was currently consulting with farmers, experts and other stakeholders to prepare new guidelines for the scheme’s implementation.
