BCs were the most benefited community of the different schemes implemented by the State government, he said.

The slew of schemes, including construction of Atma Gaurava buildings, Aasara pensions, Rythu Bandhu and others had boosted the self-esteem of BCs, Chandrashekhar Rao said.

The State government was remembering the sacrifices of Telangana martyrs like Komuraiah, the Chief Minister said the martyrs memorial, which was in the final stages of construction, would be launched shortly.

The birth and death anniversary programmes of Doddi Komuraiah were being officially organized by the State government to pay homage to him in remembrance of his sacrifices, he added.
