Honourable
Chief Minister Sri K Chandrashekhar Rao has made it clear that his government’s
aim is to develop BCs, who constituted more than half of the population in the
state, in all the fields. He announced the government is committed to implement
any action plan prepared by the public representatives from the BCs after due
consultations in this regard for the upliftment of the communities. The government
is ready to implement such a plan cent percent. He said the government has
already implementing several programmes for the development and welfare of the
BCs. But some more measures are to be taken to improve the standard of living
of the BCs. The CM wanted the public representatives to consult all the
communities among the BCs and make recommendations to the government, which
will be implemented. He wanted the public representatives to suggest how BC
Finance Commission and MBC Corporation should function and how to plan the
self-employment schemes. The CM said the government is ready to issue the
necessary Orders, instructions, pass Acts in tune with the recommendations
given by the BC public representatives. He said the government has no qualms to
rectify any mistakes in the existing policies. He said his aim is to ensure
that the BCs have got the development and path for a better future under the
new state, which was gained after a struggle. He said in the developed
countries the policies would be permanent despite there is a change in the
government and this is not happening in the country and that is the lacunae.
The CM wanted the policies, schemes, measures to be prepared should be done in
such a manner that nobody would be able to change them in future.

“We
have achieved Telangana State with lofty ideals. All sections of people should
be developed. Living standards of every section should be improved and no one
should live with inferiority complex. Everyone should live with self-confidence
and they should get all the opportunities. Nobody should live under the
dominance of others and everyone should be happy. Based on this a new path
should be laid now and Telangana should tread on this road. A new path should
be laid for the weaker sections now. The public representatives should spend
time for the BCs who constituted more than half of the population, undertake a
deep study and prepare measures. There is no political interest in this and
take everyone’s advice. All party representatives should discuss this and give
a collective recommendations. I will take the personal responsibility of
implementing them. As expected Telangana State has good income generating
resources. Under the united AP, every year Rs 1. 25,000 Crore and the more than
this is being spent in Telangana State. All this expenditure should be spent on
eradicating poverty. For administrative convenience we have divided the
districts and it helped to focus on each family. Hence if we bring in good
policies and schemes, we can pave way for the BCs development and future,” the
CM said.
“The
government has already taken several measures for the welfare and development
of the BCs and they yielding good results. Before the formation of the State
there were only 19 residential schools for the BCs. We have formed newly 123
residential schools. Through these schools, 91,520 students are getting high
standard quality education. The government is ready to increase the strength of
the residential schools. By imparting quality education to the children we will
be ensuring their good future,” the CM said.
“We
are implementing Kalyan Laxmi scheme for the BCs which helped the daughters
from the poor families. With the introduction of reservations in the market
committees 50 percent of the BCs have the chance of becoming the Committee
Chairmen. The pension scheme for the Beedi Workers has helped the people from
the BC communities especially the Padmashalis. The other programmes of the
government have also benefitted the BCs. We have formed MBC Finance Commission
for the most backward BCs. Prepare schemes to offer financial assistance
through MBC without any linkage to the Banks,” the CM said.
“All
those depended on their hereditary profession are BCs except the Cobblers. They
are suffering despite having the skills, as there is no assistance to their
professions. Hence we have decided to help these professions. Under the united
AP, Toddy Shops were closed down in Hyderabad leading to Toddy Tappers losing
their earnings. We have revived the Toddy Shops when the state is formed and
this helped a great deal to the Tappers in the State. The government has also
taken several measures to help the handloom weavers and workers who were in
distress with some of them committed suicides. Programmes are implemented for
them at a cost of Rs 1200 Crore. We are modernizing the powerlooms cent percent
and giving 50 percent subsidy on yarn and chemicals. The government is
purchasing the handloom fabrics. Establishment of a textile Park in Warangal is
attracting reverse migration. We are expanding the Cloth industry under the
slogan Cotton to Garment and all such measures will bring in a lot of change
for good among the handloom sector. We have launched distribution of sheep with
75 percent subsidy. In the four months of launching the schemes, 29.50 Lakh
sheep were distributed. The distributed sheep have given birth to 10 Lakh baby
sheep. So far sheep is distributed among 1.41 Lakh families and the target is
to distribute sheep among 7.30 Lkah families. The Shepard’s in Telangana State
will become rich compared to other states and this will bring in a lot of
change among the Golla Kuruma communities. We have started distribution of
fishlings with 100 percent subsidy. We are launching schemes and programmes for
the fishermen with Rs 5,000 Crore. We will give the necessary help to the
washermen. We will give financial assistance to the Nayi Brahmins to launch
their hair dressing saloons. We will grant Rs 250 Crore to Viswa Brahmins as an
assistance to their profession,” the CM said.
Feeling
jealous of the residential schools: Rapolu
Rajya
Sabha Member Sri Rapolu Anand Bhaskar said the residential schools are
functioning well. He said he had visited several residential schools including
the Navodaya but the schools run by the Telangana government are the best.
Other students are feeling jealous about the students studying in the Telangana
State run schools. MLA Sri laxman also said that the residential schools are
running well. There is a need to increase their strength, Sri Laxman said.
