Investigation, Rythu Bandhu, farmers of the tribal communities, Eturnagram Agency area, and Telangana.

The Telangana State government launched the "Agriculture Investment Support Scheme" (Rythu Bandhu), the first cash transfer program for farmers, in 2018–19. The crisis in agriculture and allied sectors in India has received a lot of policy attention in recent decades. There is a wide acknowledgment of the view that stepping up public expenditure can revive the growth of this sector and make farming a viable occupation, especially for small and marginal farmers. At the time of launching this scheme, the state of agriculture in the country was dismal, farmers across the country were protesting, prices of agricultural produce were falling and the costs of cultivation were rising, reports of farmer suicides were increasing day by day. In the Telangana State, too farmers’ incomes have been under stress in view of the ever-growing input costs, unpredictable processes, and rising family expenses, especially on health and education. In order to ensure that the farmers do not fall again into the debt trap, the Telangana State government launched a new scheme called the “Agriculture Investment Support Scheme” (Rythu Bandhu), the first-ever cash transfer program for farmers. In light of the findings of a few studies and analyses by eminent scholars on the first-ever investment support scheme and it impact on the farming sector, the responses of the beneficiaries, tenant farmers who are actual cultivators but kept out of the ambit of the benefits of the scheme, it is intended to study the impact of Rythu Bandu Scheme on tribal farmers in the tribal agency area of Eturnagaram in the Mulugu District with objectives of ascertaining benefits derived by the respondents, examining the usage of the cash transferred, to find out the sufficiency of the cash and timely transfer of the cash under the RBS. The study found that the scheme is very beneficial. It is also found that an overall percentage of farmers are using this direct benefit for other than the intended purpose. There are two reasons for this as per the opinions of the respondents, one is the cash transferred is relatively inadequate, ie they need to depend on other sources for investment, and the other is the availability of inputs- seed, fertilizers, pesticides, etc. on a credit basis. This is why the farmers in the study are using cash for whatever is urgent at the time of cash transfer. It does not mean that the cash transferred under RBS is misappropriated but adjusted for time being among various needs. This did not have any adverse impact on the cultivation activities of the respondents. It is concluded that the investment support should also be extended to land cultivated by the farmers on a case basis and cultivated without title and institutional credit should be extended as per the needs of cultivation costs.
