Telangana Launches SC Categorization in Welfare Scheme
The Telangana government is starting a new program called Rajiv Yuva Vikasam.
It's for people from Scheduled Castes (SCs), which are groups of people who need extra help.
This program will divide SCs into three groups to make sure benefits are shared fairly.
The government received a lot of applications, and banks are now checking them.
The program aims to help 5 lakh people, offering loans and other support, with a focus on the most disadvantaged.
There will be a special focus on women and people with disabilities.
Telangana government is implementing SC categorisation for the first time.
The Rajiv Yuva Vikasam scheme aims to promote social equity and targeted welfare.
59 castes are grouped into three categories with specific reservation quotas.
The scheme received 1,44,800 applications across 33 districts.
Banks are reviewing applications, with funds to be issued in two instalments.
