Niranjan Reddy said, though India was primarily an agricultural economy, farmers were facing problems due to lack of support. Keeping this in mind, the Telangana government led by Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao had introduced schemes such as Rythu Bandhu, Rythu Bhima, and had waived agriculture loans.

The Minister said that Rythu Samanwaya Samithis and Rythu Vedikas were set up to discuss farmers’ problems and arrive at solutions.

Kamareddy ZP chairman D Shobha Raju and local public representatives were also present at the public meeting.
