Tenant farmers in Kumaram Bheem Asifabad district are expressing deep concern as they are excluded from various central and state government schemes due to their lack of land ownership.
Despite government assurances of support for tenant farmers, practical assistance is not reaching them. Banks are also refusing to provide loans, making their financial situation difficult.
This forces tenant farmers to borrow from private lenders at high interest rates. Drought conditions have led to crop failures, increasing their losses.
Farmers report that even when they cultivate crops, they face losses and are unable to recover their investments, pushing them deeper into debt.
Tenant farmers are appealing to the government to extend scheme benefits to them and provide recognition for those who cultivate land without owning it.
There is a growing demand for the government to immediately address the issues faced by tenant farmers and implement measures to provide them with financial assistance.
