Telangana farmers are anxious as the Congress-led state government has not yet paid the premium for the Rythu Bima crop‑insurance scheme, leaving many farmers uncertain about their coverage.
Telangana farmers have expressed growing concern after the Congress government failed to remit the premium for the Rythu Bima crop‑insurance scheme, a move that could leave many farmers without coverage for the upcoming season.
The Rythu Bima scheme, launched to protect farmers against crop losses, requires timely premium payments from the state. The delay has prompted farmers to seek clarification from local officials and to voice their apprehensions in farmer gatherings.
Agricultural officials have indicated that the payment process is still underway and that the government intends to settle the dues soon. However, the lack of a clear timeline has left farmers uncertain about their insurance status.
Farmers in several districts have organized meetings to demand prompt action, emphasizing that the premium payment is essential for safeguarding their livelihoods against unpredictable weather and pest outbreaks.
The issue has drawn attention from both local media and political leaders, who are urging the government to expedite the payment to prevent any disruption in the scheme’s benefits.
