Key Highlights

Why This Matters
Agriculture remains the primary source of livelihood for a large section of Telangana’s population. Unseasonal rains and floods often destroy crops, leaving farmers in financial distress. Timely compensation not only provides relief but also helps them prepare for the next agricultural season.
Experts believe such measures will restore confidence among farmers and prevent further debt burdens, a recurring issue in rural Telangana.
