Revanth Reddy Announces Village Development Funds
Chief Minister Revanth Reddy has announced a special financial assistance program for all gram panchayats in Telangana.
Large gram panchayats will receive ₹10 lakhs, and smaller ones will get ₹5 lakhs.
This money is meant to help with village development and will be given directly to the village leaders, called sarpanches.
The Chief Minister wants these leaders to work together to make their villages better, without focusing on politics.
He also promised that all eligible residents in these villages will get ration cards.
Additionally, the government will provide breakfast and mid-day meals in schools, free bus travel for women, and distribute saris to women.
The Chief Minister said this money is for everyone, no matter their political beliefs.
He also mentioned that the government will make sure that nearly ₹3,000 crore is given to gram panchayats from both the Central and state governments before March 31 next year.
Chief Minister Revanth Reddy announced special financial assistance for all 12,706 gram panchayats in Telangana, with ₹10 lakhs for large gram panchayats and ₹5 lakhs for smaller ones.
The funds will be released from the Chief Minister’s Special Development Fund in January and are in addition to regular grants from the Central and state governments.
The government will ensure the release of nearly ₹3,000 crore to gram panchayats from combined Central and state sources before March 31 next year.
Revanth Reddy urged sarpanches to prepare village-wise development plans and work collectively for village development, setting aside political differences.
