Rythu Bandhu funds to be released by Telangana from 28 December

The scheme, considered a revolutionary activity in the country’s agriculture sector, is delivering optimum results, it said.

Along with free irrigation, free electricity, and farmer insurance, a revolutionary development has taken place in agriculture in the State by providing direct investment in the farmer’s account to take up farming activities, the release further said.

The Telangana government’s pro-agricultural activity not only stood as the best example for the country but also led to a paradigm shift in the country’s agricultural sector.

The state government’s agricultural policies are influencing the neighbouring state governments and also the Centre towards paving the way for the welfare of the farmers and agricultural growth, according to the release.

The Centre is trying to make the people of Telangana suffer by not releasing ₹40,000-crore funds which are “rightfully due” to the state under various schemes and programmes, it alleged.

రైతుబంధు పథకం ద్వారా రైతులకు వానాకాలం, యాసంగి రెండు కాలాలకు ఎకరానికి పదివేల రూపాయల చొప్పున రాష్ట్ర ప్రభుత్వం, పంట పెట్టుబడిని అందించడం, దేశ వ్యవసాయరంగంలో విప్లవాత్మక కార్యాచరణగా సత్ఫలితాలనిస్తున్నది.

Despite the Centre creating hurdles, the state government is not compromising on the welfare of farmers and the development of the farming sector and releasing Rythu Bandhu funds timely to the farmers every season, it added.
