The agricultural lands of the state are prone to the frequent occurrence of droughts. Also, the technological methods of farming are also not very widespread. As a consequence, the income levels from the agriculture sector were degrading.

Telangana government has launched two policies that benefit the farmers. The policies are run under the Department of Agriculture, Telangana. The two policies are-

  1. Rythu Bandhu – This scheme focuses on enhancing agricultural productivity within the state. Under this scheme, Rs. 4,000 is granted per acre to every farmer to invest in seeds, fertilizers, pesticides and others to improve the health and yield of the crops.
  2. Rythu Bheema – This scheme focuses on providing financial aid to the family members of the deceased farmers due to any natural cause. Under this scheme, Rs. 5 lacs is granted to the designated nominee of the deceased farmer within 10 days.

Telangana is the first state of India to introduce such a scheme that would provide life insurance to the farmers. The majority of the farmers in the state belongs to the deprived households and the only source of their livelihood is agriculture. Hence, it becomes very crucial to look out for such farmers.
