Congress Govt. Works Tirelessly For People’s Welfare, Says Revanth

Hyderabad: Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy on Thursday said that the government had launched the 99-day action plan ‘Praja Palana — Pragati Pranalika’ to bring visible and tangible changes in people’s lives, and said that welfare schemes must go beyond paperwork and reach every eligible beneficiary.

As part of the programme, gram sabhas were held across Telangana on Thursday, where officials read out the Chief Minister’s message and explained details of various welfare initiatives.

During the gram sabhas, officials announced the list of beneficiaries under Rythu Bharosa, details of 200 units of free electricity, and the beneficiaries of the Indiramma housing scheme. Information was also shared on schemes already in implementation and the proposed universal life insurance scheme scheduled to be launched on June 2.

Officials briefed villagers about new initiatives, including the morning breakfast programme in government schools — featuring milk distribution for three days and ragi porridge for three days each week — and the extension of the midday meal scheme to Intermediate college students from the 2026-27 academic year beginning in June. Details of funds released to Gram Panchayats and allocations for each village were also disclosed during the Gram Sabhas.

In his message, the Chief Minister said it has been two years and three months since the “people’s government” assumed office, and despite financial challenges, it has been working tirelessly to ensure development and welfare for all sections by rectifying the shortcomings of the previous regime. Stressing a governance philosophy rooted in service, he said the government’s decisions are guided by the welfare of people, social responsibility, and the future of the state.

Revanth Reddy said consecutive victories in Assembly by-elections, panchayat polls, and municipal elections reflect public approval of the Congress government’s performance and have further strengthened its sense of responsibility. He reiterated that schemes should not remain mere entries on paper but must deliver real transformation at the grassroots level.

The 99-day programme, launched on March 6 with coordination across departments, aims to function as a statewide movement from villages to the state level. He directed officials to focus on resolving local issues, ensuring speedy file clearances, maintaining cleanliness in government offices, and promoting transparency in decision-making.

Highlighting key welfare measures, the Chief Minister said benefits under schemes such as free bus travel for women, `500 gas cylinders, free electricity up to 200 units, Aarogyasri, ration cards, supply of fine rice, Indiramma housing, and women’s empowerment initiatives must reach all eligible sections.

Referring to the “Telangana Rising-2047” vision, Revanth Reddy said the state government aims to emerge as a global leader not only economically but across all sectors. He called upon citizens to become active partners in achieving this goal, adding that the state has been categorised into CURE, PURE, and RARE segments to drive growth in services, manufacturing, and agriculture.

Describing the 99-day action plan as a “solemn pledge,” Revanth Reddy urged the four crore people of Telangana to work together to make the state a model for the nation and the world, and sought public cooperation in realising this vision.
