Chief Minister KCR will launch the scheme to provide financial assistance of Rs 1 lakh to artisans and craftsmen from backward classes, and personally hand over cheques to beneficiaries, at Mancherial today.
He will address a public meeting in the evening where he will explain on the development and also the welfare measures being implemented in the state.
The guidelines have been issued to identify eligible artisans and all District Collectors have been instructed to ground at least 50 units on the inaugural day, marking Samkshema Dinotsavam to be held as part of the decennial celebrations of Telangana State formation.
BC Welfare Minister Gangula Kamalakar and Finance Minister Harish Rao earlier held a video conference with all District Collectors and gave necessary instructions to successfully organize the event.
The financial assistance, which will be provided to the artisans without any bank linkage, is envisaged for the socio-economic development of artisans. The officials were cautioned to be vigilant and take all measures against misuse of the scheme.
KCR and KTR have been storming the districts in a systematic fashion and it is almost like an election meeting. Both of them are heli hopping along with the ministers and Officials to take stock of the situation and also create awareness amongst the public.
