Telangana - Officer held for diverting Rythu Bima, Rythu Bandhu funds
An Agriculture Extension Officer (AEO) from the Agiryal cluster of Kondurg Mandal, ranga reddy district, Goreti srisailam, was detained by the Cyberabad police today on suspicion of embezzling public monies from the state's Rythu Bandhu and Rythu Bima programs. In addition to processing fraudulent insurance claims, the defendants embezzled Rs 2 crore in additional payments intended for farmers.
Both of the farmer projects were implemented in the days of the preceding Bharat Rashtra Samithi. Land-owning farmers who participate in the Rythu Bandhu initiative receive an input subsidy of Rs 5000 per acre each season. Accordingly, under the policy, an individual who owns two acres of land would receive Rs 10,000 throughout the Rabi and Kharif seasons.
The money diversion was discovered as a result of a police report submitted by the ranga reddy district's district agriculture officer, who expressed concerns over 20 Rythu Bhima claims about the Agiryal cluster in Kondurg Mandal.
