Dr. YSR Rythu Bharosa Kendralu (RBK)

Why it matters

Gives every farmer a single nearby village-level centre to buy genuine seeds and fertiliser, get crop advice, register for insurance and access machinery — without travelling far or risking spurious inputs.

What you get

Rythu Bharosa Kendralu are village/cluster-level one-stop farmer service centres set up across Andhra Pradesh. Each RBK supplies government-certified seeds, fertilisers and pesticides at fair prices, provides scientific crop advisories from trained agriculture assistants, facilitates e-crop booking for insurance, enables custom hiring of farm machinery, and helps farmers access scheme benefits and soil-testing services — all from a single, local touch-point rather than farmers having to approach multiple offices or private dealers.
