Suryapet: Education Minister G Jagadish Reddy on Wednesday distributed Kalyana Lakshmi and Shaadi Mubarak cheques to beneficiaries in Suryapet and Huzurnagar constituencies in the district.
Speaking on the occasion, the Minister said Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao was giving top priority to welfare of the people and in this regard, the government had introduced several schemes for their uplift. " Over Rs 45,000 crore are being spent on welfare schemes," he informed, adding that the State government has been spending Rs 800 crore on Kalyana Lakshmi and Shaadi Mubarak schemes.
