If two sons of a Dalit are staying separately, they should be recorded as three families, he said, adding that there were 15 to 16 lakh Dalit families in the State and all would be provided the benefits of Dalit Bandhu.

The government, he said, decided to implement the scheme in Huzurabad on a pilot basis spending Rs 2,000 crore. All 20,000 dalit families in the segment would eventually get the benefits.
