From Rytu Bandhu to Women's Empowerment: Analyzing Telangana's Agricultural Policy Framework and Its Gender Impact

Abstract This study examines Telangana's agricultural policy framework, particularly the Rytu Bandhu scheme, and its implications for women's empowerment in agriculture. Through a comprehensive analysis of policy documents, implementation data, and gender-disaggregated statistics, this research evaluates the effectiveness of direct farmer investment support schemes in addressing gender disparities in agricultural development. The study reveals that while the Rytu Bandhu scheme has provided financial assistance to 5.8 million farmers since its inception in 2018, its impact on women's economic empowerment remains limited due to structural barriers, including land ownership patterns, access to formal banking, and traditional gender roles in agriculture. The research employs both quantitative analysis of beneficiary data and qualitative assessment of policy outcomes to demonstrate that although women constitute approximately 55% of the agricultural workforce in Telangana, they receive disproportionately lower benefits from direct cash transfer schemes. The findings suggest that while Rytu Bandhu has successfully reduced rural indebtedness and increased agricultural investment, additional targeted interventions are necessary to ensure equitable participation of women farmers in agricultural development programs. This study contributes to understanding how universal agricultural policies can be enhanced through gender-sensitive design to achieve more inclusive rural development outcomes.
