KARIMNAGAR (RAMAGUNDAM): SC Finance Corporation Executive Officer B. Anand Kumar said that awareness programmes would be conducted shortly across the state to enhance skills to take up agriculture among beneficiaries of the ambitious three acre land scheme being implemented by state government.
He, along with other officials, assessed the performance of the scheme in Ramagundam mandal on Friday. Speaking to this newspaper, he said that the awareness programmes would be organised in each Assembly constituency and district headquarters in the next few days. “Since the beneficiaries were not familiar with farming and its techniques, it is important to provide guidance and create awareness among them,” he reasoned.
However, the lands would be taken back and transferred to some other family if it remained unused for a period of one year after granting to a beneficiary, he cautioned. He further said that the district was earmarked with the highest share of funds Rs 24 crore out Rs 185 crore to all of the districts in the state under the scheme.
A total of 1, 101 acres would be given to 401 beneficiaries in state and 18 families in district, he added. Ramagundam Tahsildar G. Srinivas Rao was present. When asked, Mr Kumar said that the beneficiaries were overwhelmingly elated over owning cultivatable land under the scheme.
