Telangana to Use Satellite Data for Rythu Bharosa Verification
The Telangana government is using satellite technology to check which lands are being farmed.
This will help them give money to real farmers who are actually growing crops.
They will give Rs 6,000 for each acre of land that is being farmed.
This new method will make sure the money is given correctly and save the government a lot of money.
Before, people who checked the farms had too much work and sometimes made mistakes.
Now, satellites will help check the farms every month.
This will make the process fairer and more accurate.
