\nAs part of the Telangana Handloom Weavers' Savings Fund, Savings and
\nSecurity Scheme (TFSSS), the beneficiary's share has remained unchanged at 8 per

\nRs.25.31 crore have been deposited in the RD account of 32,328 beneficiaries
\nunder this scheme.<\/p>\n
The Government has launched Netanna Insurance Scheme with the aim of
\nensuring that the families of handloom and weaving workers do not face any
\nfinancial difficulties after their death. Similar to Rythu Bhima, this scheme is also
\nimplemented by Life Insurance Company (LIC). The Government pays the entire
\nannual premium on behalf of the beneficiary to the life insurance company. To
\navail the benefit of this scheme the applicant should be a weaver or a subsidiary
\nworker on the looms where the geo-tagging is done. Age should be between 18 to
\n59 years.<\/p>\n
In case of death of the beneficiary during the insured period of this scheme,
\na deposit of Rs.5 lakhs will be made to the nominee's account. This amount will be
\ncredited to the nominee within 10 working days. This scheme was inaugurated by
\nMinister for Handloom & Textile, IT, Industries, Municipal and Urban
\nDevelopment Sri K. Taraka Rama Rao on August 7 th , 2022. It has been
\nimplemented from August 14 th , 2022.<\/p>\n

\nour state to study the schemes implemented by the Telangana government for
\nthe development of handlooms and the welfare of handloom workers. They have
\nappreciated the implementation of the schemes.<\/p>\n
