TRS unveiled 52 unique reforms, a first in nation

HYDERABAD: TRS government led by chief minister

K Chandrasekhar Rao

claims to have unveiled 52 unique programmes in the state, something that it says is unprecedented in the country.

This includes ?8,000 per acre financial assistance to farmers, industrial permissions in 15 days, uninterrupted power to all, double bedroom houses, funds for marriage, govt pay for archakas, special fund for Brahmins, reservations for Muslims and tribals, setting up of the most backward corporation, sheep scheme, modern saloons on subsidy for barbers, advanced laundry equipment on subsidy for washermen and mobile vet clinics for the welfare of animals.

The implementation of these schemes by the TRS government in Telangana appears to be getting noticed elsewhere in the country. Karnataka transport minister HM Revanna has declared these as ‘revolutionary schemes’. Revanna is a member of the Congress government in Karnataka, the same party that is fighting the TRS government in Telangana. The

, Gujarat, Rajasthan governments have already evinced interest in Mission Bhagiratha, a game changing program to provide safe drinking water to every household. Mission Kakatiya, a scheme that revived 46,000 tanks in the state, is being observed by the Tamil Nadu and Kerala governments.

The Telangana industrial policy, which allows industrialists to get permissions within 15 days, is being studied by the Union commerce ministry. The state became power surplus in 2017 and launched 24-hour power supply to all categories including free power to the farm sector, which is another first in the country.

Another important decision taken by the CM was forming farmers’ associations from village to the state level. Being described as a revolutionary step in the country, these coordination committees will monitor the land records and the payment of ?8,000 per acre towards input subsidy to the farmers in a transparent way.
