Mahalakshmi Scheme Boosts TGSRTC Profits, Says Bhatti
The deputy chief minister of Telangana, Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka, said that the Telangana State Road Transport Corporation (TGSRTC) is now making money because of a special program called the Mahalakshmi Scheme.
This program gives women free bus rides.

255 crore free bus journeys have been provided under the Mahalakshmi Scheme.
