The Collector reminded that field inspections were conducted to iden-tify the eligible persons under these schemes. He said that the government will provide investment assistance of Rs. 12,000 per acre to every farmer cultivating culti-vable lands and crops under the Rythu Bharosa scheme. Similarly, he said that agricultural labourers’ families without cultivable land will be provided with Rs. 12,000 annually in two installments under the Indiram-ma Atmiya Bharosa.

Applications were also received from those who had not applied under the respective schemes so far and from those who were eligible but whose names were not in the beneficiary list.
