The Government of Telangana has undertaken several initiatives to boost the sec tor’s growth, increase farmers income and improve farmers welfare. To achieve these objectives, the Government has implemented policy initiatives such as the flagship Kaleshwaram Project and Mission Kakatiya to improve the irrigation infrastructure, the supply of 24X7 free power to farmers, investment support to farmers under the Rythu Bandhu scheme, access to inputs, markets & credit, and provisioning of life insurance to make farmers under the Rythu Bhima scheme.

Rythu Vedikas:
