Rythu Bharosa Implementation Guidelines
The Collector provided detailed instructions for the implementation of the Rythu Bharosa scheme. Assistance will be provided to patta holders based on the area of cultivable land registered in the Bhubharati (Dharani) portal. Non-cultivable lands, including those converted into housing, real estate, industrial use, or mining, will be excluded from the scheme.
At the mandal level, Tahsildars and Mandal Agricultural Officers will oversee the identification of lands, which will be conducted in each revenue village. Local teams, including the Revenue Inspector and Agricultural Extension Officer (AEO), will assist in this process. Pattadars will visit villages with necessary documents like passbook printouts, village maps, and Google maps to identify non-agricultural lands.

Once the list of non-agricultural lands is prepared, it will be displayed at the Gram Sabha, where it will be read out, discussed, and approved by the community. The finalized list will then be digitally registered in the Bhubharati (Dharani) portal and signed by the concerned officer.
