Telangana Farmers' Movement

The Telangana Farmers’ Movement was a series of protests by farmers in Telangana, India, starting around 2011. Farmers demanded fair prices, relief from debt, irrigation facilities, and government support, as many struggled with drought and crop failure. The movement highlighted issues like inadequate water access, paying high loan interest, and lack of government assistance. It gained momentum through peaceful protests, rallies, and demonstrations, eventually leading to increased government attention and policy reforms. The movement played a significant role in shaping Telangana’s political landscape and raising awareness about farmers’ needs in the region.
