BRS Gave Rs 30,000 Cr Rythu Bandhu to Non-Farm Lands

Deccan Chronicle  

HYDERABAD: The previous BRS government paid Rythu Bandhu money amounting to nearly Rs 6,000 crore per year on an average for land which was not under cultivation. The Congress government which has decided to extend Rythu Bharosa of Rs 15,000 per acre per year in the place of Rs 10,000 Rythu Bandhu, from the upcoming kharif season beginning June, has launched a special drive to identify uncultivable lands to check wastage of public money. If the Congress government implements Rythu Bharosa of Rs 15,000 per acre per year for the same extent of land, it would require nearly RS 22,800 crore per year. The BRS government spent a little over Rs 15,000 crore per year for extending RS 10,000 per acre per year for Rythu Bandhu.
