A large number of beneficiaries in the mandal have shown interest in the transport sector opting for tractors, cars and auto rickshaws more than the market demand. Those who do not have experience in the field and do not possess vehicle licenses have selected the transport sector.

Those who have chosen the transport field without experience are asked to review their choice and the amount Rs 1.50 lakh will not be credited into their account at present. The amount will be credited into their accounts after they reconsidered their choice, Gautham informed.

Every dalit family in Chintakani mandal has been sanctioned Rs 10 lakh under Dalit Bandhu and there is no need for any apprehensions in that regard. Rs 1.50 lakh is credited to make preparations for grounding the units and the remaining amount will be credited into beneficiaries’ accounts within a week, he added.

It may be noted that the State government selected Chintakani mandal in Madhira Assembly constituency for Dalit Bandhu implementation on pilot basis in saturation mode. The government has allocated Rs 450 crore and an amount of Rs 100 crore is released and deposited in the District Collector’s account.

One special officer has been appointed for each of 25 villages in the mandal for carrying out the process of beneficiaries’ selection and for household survey. The district industries and agriculture departments conducted a study to educate the beneficiaries about the market demand.
