The BRS government under the leadership of Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao had taken the implementation of the Dalit development programmes to the next level. The Dalit Bandhu assistance of Rs 10 lakh being extended by the BRS government would change the socio-economic profile of the Dalit communities soon.
In addition to this, a slew of measures were initiated for the development of education. So far as the ST development was concerned, the government had issued pattas for over four lakhs acres of podu lands in favour of the tribal farmers.
