Rythu Bharosa (Telangana)
Rythu Bharosa is the Telangana government's investment support for farmers. Farmers get ₹12,000 per acre every year, paid as ₹6,000 per acre for each crop season, directly into their bank accounts.
What is Rythu Bharosa?
Rythu Bharosa replaced the earlier Rythu Bandhu scheme. It gives farmers money for each crop season to meet cultivation costs like seeds, fertiliser and labour, without needing a loan.
Latest update
The Telangana government released Rythu Bharosa funds for the 2026 Kharif (Vanakalam) season from 30 June 2026. A ₹500 per quintal bonus for notified fine rice varieties was also approved for the Kharif season.
