What is Rythu Bandhu Scheme?

The Rythu Bandhu Scheme is also known as Farmers’ Investment Support Scheme and was implemented by Telangana government in 2018. Under this scheme, each applicant was offered Rs. 4000 for every acre of cultivated land. This amount will be offered for Kharif as well as Rabi season. It will support farmers to meet their farm investments.

  1. Residential requirements – Only residents of Telangana will be able to opt for this benefit. So, applicants have to submit their domicile certificate with the enrollment form.
  2. Occupational requirement – This project has been designed and implemented for the benefit of farmers. Thus, only those who depend on farming to earn their livelihood will be able to apply.
  3. Age related criterion – It has been highlighted that only those farmers will be able to apply for this insurance coverage who fall in the age bracket of 18 and 60 years. Thus, every applicant has to submit age proof.
  4. Bank account details – As the insurance amount will be transferred in the bank account, all interested applicants must offer details like the account number, bank name, branch name, branch code and address during application.

Application form and procedure

The scheme has been launched recently. Thus, state government has not highlight any guidelines regarding the application process. But the policy bond and settlement will be done by LIC. We will offer application and claim related details as soon as the state offers pertinent information.

Insuring health of crops is not enough. With the implementation of farmer life insurance policy, Telangana state government will be able to offer financial assistance to the farmer’s family in case of sudden death of the policy holder.
