Naidu Pushes for Rs 36 Crore Subsidy to Support Farmers in Need

Former Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu has called on the state government to release Rs 36 crore in input subsidies to support farmers struggling with agricultural losses. In a recent statement, the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) leader urged swift action, highlighting the urgent need to alleviate the financial burdens on farmers across the state. The appeal reflects N Chandrababu Naidu's ongoing concern over the hardships that small and marginal farmers face, especially given recent weather challenges and market disruptions. Chandrababu Naidu's demand is in response to various setbacks farmers have experienced in the past few years, from unseasonal rains to fluctuating commodity prices. Many farmers have faced crop losses or significantly reduced yields, which has led to increased debts and financial strain. These input subsidies, often covering costs like seeds, fertilizers, pesticides, and other essentials, are crucial for farmers who rely on external support to sustain their operations. The Rs 36 crore subsidy N. Chandrababu Naidu is urging could provide immediate relief to thousands of farmers, helping them maintain their livelihoods and continue cultivating their land without further financial burden.
