What this scheme offers
Every farmer family already registered for the central PM-KISAN scheme's ₹6,000 a year gets a further ₹13,500 from the Andhra Pradesh government on top of it, taking the combined annual support to ₹20,000, paid across the Kharif and Rabi cropping seasons. The scheme was called YSR Rythu Bharosa under the previous government and was renamed Annadata Sukhibhava ('farmer's wellbeing') by the TDP-led government after it returned to power in 2024 — the mechanism and target amount stayed essentially the same through the rename, so if you were receiving Rythu Bharosa payments before, you should continue to under the new name without needing to re-register from scratch.
