The State of Telangana is creating a golden era in welfare stated KCR the CM of Telangana. He was speaking at the Golkonda fort on the eve of the 75th Independence day.
There is no exaggeration to say that not a single home was not been included in the Government scheme. The previous Governments had supported with only two hundred rupees of Aasara Pensions but Telangana Government is really extending support with Rs.2016/-.
The eligibility of age has been reduced from 65 to 57 years to receive the old-age pension in order to provide welfare benefits to wider range of people due to which, more distressed people will get the Aasara support.
The Telangana Government is extending the Aasara pension scheme to beedi workers, single women, handloom weavers, AIDS patients and victims of Elephantiasis, earlier this was limited only to the senior citizens widows and disabled persons.
KalyanaLakshmi, Shaadi Mubarak schemes has been introduced with an intention that the marriage of poor girls should not be a burden to their parents.
The scheme which was started with Rs. 51,000/- is at present giving one lakh one hundred sixteen. All these were not promised during elections. There are the schemes being implemented with the concept of humanity as the Government is aware of the hardships of the poor.
It is a naked truth that in our country from Kashmir to Kanyakumari, we witness that Dalits are in abject poverty.Our state is not an exception to this.
Entire Dalit community is suffering not only from poverty but it is also suffering from social discrimination from generations together. Even after 75 years of Independence, we should all accept the harsh truth that darkness looms large over lives of Dalits.
If some part of the body is chopped off, then the entire body will collapse. Likewise, we all should understand that, if we curb the largest community in the country, that country will also collapse. The entire administrative machinery of the country should understand the seriousness in the words of Babasaheb Ambedkar the architect of Indian Constitution that, ‘’Democracy is equality. We have to eradicate the financial and social inequalities in this country as early as possible and the development of Dalits should be the first step.”
