''We Will Provide Rythu Bharosa Based on Records": Key Remarks by Telangana Deputy CM
Explaining the selection of beneficiaries and the implementation process, he stated that the cabinet issued its announcement only after thoroughly discussing the guidelines. He assured that ₹12,000 per acre would be provided to all cultivable lands under the Rythu Bharosa scheme. Farmers holding ROFR (Record of Forest Rights) pattas will also be eligible for this benefit, he added. Vikramarka reiterated that the scheme will be executed by the agriculture department based on official revenue records.
He further clarified that under the Indiramma Aatmiya Bharosa scheme, agricultural laborers without even a cent of land, who have worked at least 20 days under the Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGA) and possess a job card, will be eligible for assistance.
Addressing concerns about ration cards and Indiramma housing schemes, he affirmed that only those meeting eligibility criteria will be selected. Government officials were instructed to conduct village assemblies (Gram Sabhas) to explain the welfare schemes and finalize the list of beneficiaries through these meetings. Approval certificates for beneficiaries will be handed over by officials and public representatives during these assemblies.
Vikramarka also mentioned that Indiramma committees would oversee the proper implementation of welfare schemes as per government orders (GOs). He underlined the critical role of these committees in monitoring welfare programs to ensure their successful execution.
