Budgetary allocation for the project
As Telangana is an agricultural intensive state, it is obvious that several lakhs will be associated with farming profession. Ensuring life insurance policy for all these agricultural workers is not a mean task. For that, Telangana CM must make special monetary arrangements. To meet financial requirements, the state will put together a Rs. 500 crore fund, annually. It will assist in offering insurance policy under Rythu Bheema Yojana.
The scheme has offered respite to poor farmers and their families. They no longer need to worry about financial support in case the agricultural worker passes away suddenly. The insurance money will support the family for some time, until they regain footing.
