Telangana Rythu Bharosa Scheme 2026
Rythu Bharosa is the current name of the farmer investment support scheme that was earlier known as Rythu Bandhu in Telangana. The state government renamed and restructured the scheme in January 2025 and increased the support amount from Rs 10,000 to Rs 12,000 per acre per year.
Payment is made through Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) to the Aadhaar-linked bank account of the eligible farmer. Farmers do not need to submit a fresh application form every season because the scheme works on the basis of land records in Bhu Bharati.
For the 2025-26 financial year, the state government made a budget provision of Rs 18,000 crore for Rythu Bharosa. In February 2026, Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy announced the release of Rs 9,000 crore to farmers.
