Abstract
The case 'Rythu Bandhu Scheme – A Welfare Program to Support Farm Investment in Telangana State of India' is about the Rythu Bandhu Scheme (RBS) launched by the Telangana State Government (TSG) in India. RBS, a scheme providing financial support to farmers, and the Rythu Bhima Scheme, an insurance scheme for farmers, was selected for presentation at the international seminar at the Food and Agricultural Organization's headquarters at Rome in 2018.
The case explains the features of the RBS and the mode of implementation. The eligibility criteria and the process of disbursal of financial support to the farmers are explained. The farmers' and policy analysts' views for and against RBS are discussed in detail. The main objectives of the scheme were to increase agriculture production and protect farmers from private money lenders. Even though the scheme benefitted most of the farmers, tenant farmers were left out of the benefits of RBS. The question is, does continuation of the RBS lead to an increase in agriculture production and help the farmers in overcoming agrarian distress?
