Tenant farmers of Telangana still excluded from state-funded schemes

The Hindu  

Published : Mar 09, 2023 10:40 IST The continued exclusion of Telangana’s tenant farmers from state-funded schemes is making tenancy more insecure in the state. The Rythu Swarajya Vedika, a farmers’ rights organisation working in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh, released a survey in December 2022 on the situation of tenant farmers in Telangana. “Apart from being excluded from Rythu Bandhu, landless tenant farmers cannot avail crop loans from the bank,” said B. Kondal Reddy, RSV State Committee Member. For almost all tenant farmers, “it is difficult to sell the harvested crop as at least a photocopy of the landowner’s land passbook is required,” says Reddy.
