Nalgonda: Minister Komatireddy Venkat Reddy described the fine rice scheme as a historic initiative for the dignity of the poor.

The minister criticised the previous government for failing to provide ration cards in 10 years, while the current administration added 20 lakh new beneficiaries and aims to distribute fine rice to 3.1 crore people. Housing schemes under Indiramma will provide Rs 5 lakh houses, and free bus travel, farmers’ insurance, and LPG connections have been implemented. `4,000 crore has been allocated for free transport, and Rs 4,518 crore for SLBC tunnel repairs, despite setbacks. Additionally, Rs 80 crore has been sanctioned for roadworks in Kanagal.

The Rajiv Yuva Vikasam scheme supports unemployed youth with self-employment loans of up to Rs 4 lakh. The government has filled 50,000 jobs and is improving local hospitals and schools. Officials urged farmers to grow fine rice to meet demand, with a `500 bonus per quintal. Several road and infrastructure projects were also inaugurated, marking a step forward in regional development. In Yadagirigutta
