Hyderabad: Governor ESL Narasimhan said that Telangana State had made considerable progress on all fronts despite facing several challenges like inadequate staff and non-availability of senior officers in the last nine months. Delivering the joint address on the first day of the budget session, the Governor said, “The GSDP growth forecast for fiscal 2014-15 is estimated at 5.3% as against the growth rate of 4.8% in 2013-14 at constant (2004-05) prices.
The growth shows an encouraging trend in the new State. Despite a decline in the agricultural growth due to adverse monsoon, other allied sectors like livestock, forestry and fisheries have registered a good growth rate,” said Narasimhan while addressing the joint session of Telangana Assembly and Council here on Saturday.
The Governor said the growth momentum in industrial (4.1%) and service sector (9.7%) had made a major contribution to the increase in the overall GSDP growth. The per capital income at current prices during 2014-15 is expected to be Rs 1,03,889 as compared to Rs 95,361 during 2013-14. He said the government had laid particularly emphasis on the welfare of the SCs, STs, BCs, Minorities and the poor as well as inclusive development of all the sections of the society.
“Recognition of Kaithi Lambadas and Valmiki Boyas as STs and reconstitution of Lambada Thandas and Adivasigudems as Gram Panchayats are in progress. Similarly, efforts are on establish a tribal university,” he said. The Governor reiterated that the government would provide three acres of arable land to each landless poor Dalit family and would spend Rs 50,000 crore for the welfare of SCs over the next five years.
The STs will be provided 12% reservation in jobs and education while Rs 4,400 crore will be spent as per ST sub-plan. The government will also spend Rs 25,000 for the BC welfare and Rs 1,000 crore on minorities’ welfare. He also claimed that deserving beneficiaries were being provided monthly pension under ‘Aasara’ scheme. He mentioned about the implementation of Kalyana Lakshmi and Shaadi Mubarak scheme which provides Rs 51,000 grant to poor girls at the time of their marriage.
Narasimhan also listed out steps which are being taken to implement the housing schemes, improve the education standards, employee friendly measures, welfare of journalists, lawyers and women. “In order to make Hyderabad a safe city and an attractive investment destination, law and order has been given top priority by my government.
There would be constant alertness with a network of CC cameras and other advanced gadgets covering the entire urban agglomeration,” he said. The Governor also claimed that the government was committed to overcome the shortage of power in the State and provide quality and reliable power to all categories of consumers.
