Suryapet: Energy Minister G Jagadish Reddy on Friday said that Dalit Bandhu scheme would bring in a revolution in the welfare of Dalits in the State.

Speaking at an awareness programme on the scheme at Tirumalgiri, Jagadish Reddy said Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao launched the initiative with the objective of removing socio-economic inequalities in the State. Dalit Bandhu, the brain-child of the Chief Minister, has become an inspiration for all States in the country on welfare of Dalits. The Chief Minister has devised the scheme to fulfill the dreams of ‘Father of the Nation’ Mahatma Gandhi and ‘Architect of the Constitution of India’ Dr B R Ambedkar to uplift of the Dalits.

Stating that Dalit Bandhu was a continuous process for uplift of Dalits, he said that no need to doubt the implementation of the scheme across the State. The Dalit community are the financially backward community in the society. The Chief Minister has took Telangana State on top in the country on development and welfare and the trend would also continue in the lives of Dalits with Dalit Bandhu scheme, he added.

He pointed out that Rythu Bandhu was started with Rs 7,000 crore funds. Now, the State government was spending Rs 15,000 crores for the scheme. It was indicating the commitment of the State government on continuation of the welfare schemes once they have launched.

He also underlined the need to create awareness among Dalits about the scheme. Zilla Parishad Chairman Gujja Deepika Yungender Rao, Thungathurthy MLA Gadari Kishore, the district Collector T Vinay Krishna Reddy and others also attended the programme.
