Rythu Bandhu scheme in Telangana a success but more needs to be done

The Hindu  

Published : Mar 09, 2023 10:40 IST Jayamma is a 48-year-old Scheduled Caste farmer and her family holds two acres of assigned land in Brahmanapalle village of Madgul mandal in Telangana’s Rangareddy district. Flagship scheme The Rythu Bandhu or Agricultural Investment Support Scheme is Telangana’s flagship direct benefit transfer programme, which provides Rs.5,000 an acre as assistance to all landowning farmers for each crop season. “However, the fact that the area operated by these marginal and small farmers is about 61 per cent of the total area is often obfuscated by the government,” says Kiran Vissa, co-founder of Rythu Swarajya Vedika, a farmers’ rights organisation working in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh. “From our data in Telangana for small and marginal farmers who had outstanding borrowing before the implementation of Rythu Bandhu, about 43 per cent reported they were borrowing to meet consumption needs,” the authors told Frontline. “This changed quite dramatically after Rythu Bandhu was implemented, with only 13.5 per cent of households reporting that they were borrowing for consumption needs.” Even though the authors’ reference scale for small and marginal farmers is not based on land size, it is not too different from that of the Agriculture Census data.
