Telangana Rythu Bandhu Scheme 2023

by

The Rythu Bandhu scheme, also known as the Farmer’s Investment Support Scheme (FISS), is a welfare program by the Government of Telangana to support farmer’s investment for two crops a year. The scheme was launched on May 10, 2018, by the Chief Minister of Telangana, K. Chandrashekhar Rao.

Under the scheme, the government provides ₹5,000 per acre per season to support the farm investment, twice a year, for rabi (winter) and kharif (rainy) seasons. This is a first direct farmer investment support scheme in India, where the cash is paid directly.

The scheme is aimed at reducing the debt burden of farmers, improving their income, and increasing agricultural productivity. It has been very well-received by farmers in Telangana, and has been credited with boosting agricultural growth in the state.

The following are the eligibility criteria for the Rythu Bandhu scheme in Telangana:
