We have delivered more than what we promised to farmers, says A.P. Chief Minister Jagan Mohan Reddy

Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy on February 28 (Wednesday) disbursed ₹1,078.36 crore as the third tranche of financial assistance under the YSR Rythu Bharosa-PM Kisan scheme. He also released another ₹215.98 crore under the YSR Sunna Vaddi Panta Runalu initiative.

As many as 53.58 lakh farmers received the benefit under the Rythu Bharosa scheme, while 10.78 lakh farmers received the aid under the Sunna Vaddi initiative.

Speaking after releasing the amounts directly into the bank accounts of the beneficiary farmers at his camp office at Tadepalli, near here, Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy said the government firmly believed that the State’s wellbeing depended on the prosperity of the farmers.
