About Rythu Bharosa Kendras (RBKs)
- Rythu Bharosa Kendras (RBKs) have been set up by the Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy government.
- Set up for the first time in the country, the RBKs are unique seeds-to-sales, single-window service centres for farmers that have been set up across the state.
- RBKs are a one-stop solution to all farmers’ needs and grievances.
- They sell pre-tested quality seeds, certified fertilisers and animal feed. Farmers can purchase or hire farm equipment, and even sell their produce at the prevailing MSP in the RBKs.
