Abstract
The Telangana Nethanna Bima scheme is a pioneering initiative by the state government that provides financial security to handloom weavers through insurance coverage. This study assesses the scheme by looking at beneficiary awareness and its overall socioeconomic impact. A mixed-method approach is used, with primary data obtained from a sample of weavers in several areas and secondary data from government papers and policy documents. The findings show a wide variety of awareness levels among weavers, with some beneficiaries having a thorough comprehension of the scheme's benefits while others are either unaware or mistaken about its terms. According to the data, weaversawareness levels vary greatly; some beneficiaries fully understand the advantages of the system, while others are either ignorant of it or misunderstand its provisions. The Telangana Nethanna Bima scheme's impact can be increased even further by fortifying institutional procedures and guaranteeing easier access to insurance benefits. This study adds to the current discussion on social security measures for underserved populations by evaluating the scheme's execution and socioeconomic repercussions. The results give policymakers important information to improve and broaden the program, guaranteeing its long-term viability and thorough coverage of handloom weavers
