Farmer bodies ask state to release tenant farmer sops

Deccan Chronicle  

Hyderabad:Ahead of the Cabinet meeting on January 4, where the proposal for the Rythu Bharosa farmer assistance scheme is scheduled to be discussed, farmer organisations and agricultural worker unions under the banner of Samyukta Kisan Morcha have called on the government to fulfill its promises to tenant farmers and agricultural workers. Many participants had called for recognising tenant farmers, restricting Rythu Bharosa eligibility to landholdings below 10 acres, and prioritising actual cultivators over landowners. “The process being proposed by the government such as taking affidavits from land owners will make the situation even more difficult for tenant farmers,” the farmer leaders said. According to them, tenant farmers constitute 36 per cent of Telangana’s farming community but have received less than one per cent of the government’s `54,000 crore in farmer support funds since the inception of the state.
