Schemes

Current Telangana schemes and your role in them.

• The Six Guarantees: what is actually running

  Of the 2023 Abhaya Hastham guarantees, the operational pieces as of August 2026 are free bus travel, ₹500 LPG, Gruha Jyothi, Rythu Bharosa at ₹12,000/acre (not the promised ₹15,000), the completed loan waiver, fine rice, new ration cards and Indiramma Indlu. The ₹2,500/month transfer to women and the pension hike to ₹4,016/₹6,016 are NOT implemented — pensions still pay ₹2,016. Every operational scheme runs through the Collectorate, and every gap between promise and payment arrives at Prajavani.

• Rythu Bharosa and Atmiya Bharosa: money on the land, money for the landless

  Rythu Bharosa pays ₹6,000 per acre per season (₹12,000/year as of Aug 2026, not the promised ₹15,000) by DBT to pattadars of cultivable land in the Bhu Bharati record, including ROFR patta holders; non-cultivable land is excluded and there is no acreage cap. PM-Kisan's ₹6,000/year is drawn in addition. Indiramma Atmiya Bharosa pays ₹12,000/year to landless farm-labour families with a job card and 20+ NREGS days in FY 2023–24. The Collector is the implementation and grievance authority; because payment rides on the RoR, every record error is a payment error.

• Indiramma Indlu: the housing pipeline the Collector chairs

  ₹5 lakh per house (100% subsidy) for construction on own land, paid in four instalments released only after stage verification with geo-tagged photos; a ₹6 lakh SC/ST rate is reported for 2026 but unverified against a GO. Priority runs L1 (landless and houseless, who also get a free site) → L2 (own land, no house) → L3 (kutcha house). Selection flows Praja Palana applications → field verification → gram sabha → MPDO → Collector approval. Phase 2 began June 2026, with a Hyderabad-region urban round; PMAY-G units are dovetailed in as a second funding stream.

• Cheyutha pensions: old rates, new enrolment

  Social security pensions pay ₹2,016/month for standard categories as of August 2026 — the promised hike to ₹4,016 is not implemented. The disabled rate is higher but the exact current figure (₹3,016 vs ₹4,016) is unverified; confirm on the SSP portal. An August 2026 enrolment drive takes applications for 7 categories only — senior citizens, HIV patients and beedi workers are excluded from this round. The chain runs online entry → MPDO/Municipal Commissioner field verification → departmental confirmation → District Collector sanction. Pension grievances dominate Prajavani; most 'stopped' pensions are seeding or death-scrubbing problems, not sanction problems.

• Gruha Jyothi, free bus travel and the ₹500 cylinder

  Gruha Jyothi zeroes the bill for domestic connections using ≤200 units/month — 201 units means the full bill, no partial subsidy. Mahalakshmi free bus travel for women has run since Dec 2023 (a chip-based smart card is in pilot), and the ₹500 LPG cylinder refunds the difference by DBT to white-card households after they pay full price at delivery. All three ride on the Aadhaar-linked food security card, so one broken card seeding can knock out two schemes at once. The third Mahalakshmi component — ₹2,500/month to women — is not implemented as of Aug 2026.

• Rice, ration cards, Aarogyasri and the education schemes

  Fine rice: 6 kg per person per month free to all food-security cardholders since Ugadi 2025; about 1.06 crore ration cards now cover ~3.4 crore people, with smart cards launched Aug 2026. Aarogyasri cover was raised to ₹10 lakh per family in July 2024. Young India residential schools (one per constituency, 86 under construction) make land identification a live revenue task, and fee-reimbursement arrears move to a ₹200 crore monthly-release policy from academic year 2026–27. The food security card is the master key: a card grievance is never only a rice grievance.

• Prajavani: the Monday grievance machine

  Prajavani is the standing grievance system: petitions every Monday at the Collectorate (and, since 2025–26, at revenue-division and mandal level), every Tuesday and Friday at Praja Bhavan in Hyderabad. Every petition is registered on prajavani.cgg.gov.in with a receipt and reference ID, assigned to a Grievance Redressal Officer, and must be disposed within 30 days, with the Collector reviewing pendency. For a probationer, Monday duty, marking petitions and pendency review is core weekly work — including honest answers on stalled schemes like Rythu Bima, where the state missed LIC's Aug 2026 premium deadline.

• Central schemes the district runs

  PM-Kisan (₹6,000/yr) pays in parallel with Rythu Bharosa, not netted against it. Under MGNREGS the Collector is District Programme Coordinator, and the 20-day work test feeds Atmiya Bharosa eligibility. Telangana rejoined PMAY-G (1.57 lakh houses sought from FY 2024–25), dovetailed with Indiramma Indlu. Underneath all of it sits Aadhaar/NPCI seeding — the plumbing every DBT scheme depends on, and where most 'payment not received' grievances actually die. PM Fasal Bima's status in Telangana is unverified as of 2026; do not assert it either way.
