CM Revanth to launch 4 new schemes on January 26
Hyderabad: The state government will launch four welfare schemes on January 26, coinciding with Republic Day. Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy, ministers, MLAs and officials will visit districts to personally hand over benefits of Rythu Bharosa, Indira Atmeeya Bharosa, Indiramma houses and ration cards to beneficiaries.
CM Revanth Reddy, who has been on a nine-day international tour to Singapore and Davos, is scheduled to return to Hyderabad on Friday. Upon his return, the CM is expected to convene a high-level meeting with ministers to finalise the schedule and logistics for the launch. He is likely to visit either a village near Hyderabad or his native Mahbubnagar district to personally inaugurate the schemes.
In a bid to galvanise public support, Congress MLAs, party leaders and cadre have been instructed to ensure a vibrant and celebratory atmosphere in all districts. Party workers are organising rallies and other events to showcase support for the government’s initiatives. In-charge ministers of respective districts will lead the programmes locally.
Under Rythu Bharosa, farmers owning agriculture lands will receive `12,000 per acre annually, distributed in two installments of `6,000 for the Kharif and Rabi seasons. This represents a `2,000 increase over the previous Rythu Bandhu scheme, which provided `10,000 per acre under the BRS regime.
Under Indiramma Atmeeya Bharosa for the first time, landless agricultural laborers will be included in the state’s welfare net, receiving `12,000 annually. This scheme aims to rectify years of exclusion faced by this vulnerable group under the previous regime.
Under the Indiramma Housing scheme beneficiaries will receive `5 lakh financial assistance to construct homes on their own plots. The funds will be disbursed in five installments of `1 lakh each, corresponding to the progress of construction. New ration cards are being issued after a seven-year hiatus, addressing the needs of eligible households excluded under the previous system.
