Telangana recently launched the "Sanna Rice (Sannabium)" program to distribute high-quality rice (Sanna rice) free of charge to ration card holders. From March 30/April 1, eligible beneficiaries will receive 6 kg of this super-fine rice per person per month thru the public distribution system. Civil Supplies Minister N. Uttam Kumar Reddy described it as a "model of social justice" and said it would cost the government about Rs 13,000 crore per year. (enkoorinfo.in)

The Commission of 500
This measure replaces the old system of providing coarse rice - which was often resold or misused - to the poor with a respectable, high-quality food option. The Deccan Chronicle reports that the program has already received a very positive response from the public, and that the government is working hard to ensure proper distribution, monitoring and quality control. As a result of this program, rice prices in the market have also come down: the increased supply of free rice has eased pressure on retail prices.
The Telangana government has announced it.
From the next season, the government will provide a premium of ₹500 per quintal for high-quality paddy.
It aims to increase farmers' income by encouraging them to cultivate excellent quality rice. (enkoorinfo)
Current problems:
The bonus from last season has not yet been paid to many farmers.
We provide financial assistance.
Only good paddy is eligible for the premium, so not all farmers will benefit from it.
Context: Influence
This bonus led to an increase in cereal cultivation.
However, the farmers are disappointed by the payment delay.
1. Sell to government collection centers.
Make sure to sell your paddy to a state-notified paddy purchasing center. This bonus is only available for the paddy harvest purchased by the government. Special arrangements must be made for quality paddy at procurement centers. The CM has ordered the setting up of special collection centers. (enkoorinfo)
2. Make sure the quality is good
Your rice must be of a good variety / "super fine" (the "A quality" or the fine quality of the State) to be eligible for the premium.
3. Bank account details :The correct classification at the collection center is important because the bonus is associated with this classification.
Make sure your bank account details are correct, as the government intends to deposit the premium directly into farmers' accounts. They want to be paid within 48 hours of the purchase. The New Indian Express
Keep your cash book / account statements within reach so you can check if you have received the bonus or not.
4. Follow up with the Concerned officers:
If the payment is not received: You can raise the issue by contacting the officials of the local Department of Agriculture / Department of Civil Supplies or the office of the District Collector.
Use the farmer helpline or grievance redressal channels (if available) in your district to know the status of premium payment. (This depends on how these collection-bonus systems are generally monitored - although there are control rooms for collection in Telangana.) (Enkoorinfo)
Document your sale (weighing slip, purchase ticket) to have proof of the amount of paddy you sold, its quality, and when it was sold.
5. Stay informed about government announcements.
Follow local / district level announcements from the Telangana Civil Supplies or Agriculture Department - sometimes a distribution schedule or new supply centers are announced.
Talk to agricultural unions / cooperatives - they might be able to help get timely payments for premiums or highlight issues. (enkoorinfo)
