Dignity of women priority for govt.: Ponguleti
Revenue and Housing Minister Ponguleti Srinivas Reddy said reassurance and dignity of women were the priority of the government, and the schemes designed and implemented so far kept women at the centre of development, as envisaged by Indira Gandhi. The Minister handed over new ration cards to beneficiaries at the Nelakondapalli Mandal Agricultural Market Yard in Khammam district on Wednesday. Later, addressing the gathering, the Minister highlighted the women-focused schemes like free RTC bus travel, Indiramma houses registered in women's names and interest-free loans to Self Help Groups. Mr. Reddy said that in the last financial year, ₹25,000 crore was disbursed to 65 lakh women's groups, while ₹855 crore had been released in the last four months alone. The age limit for joining women's groups has been expanded to 15 to 65 years and women's associations are now active in various businesses, including solar plants, petrol bunks, rice mills and even grain procurement. He criticised the previous government for their negligence in ration card distribution and assured that distribution of ration cards would continue. 'From Ugadi, we have started distributing fine rice through ration cards, and now ration for three months is being issued at once,' he said. The Minister said funds for the 'Indiramma Indlu' housing scheme will be released every Monday and all eligible poor families will be covered in phases. The government has also waived crop loans up to ₹2 lakh, spending ₹21,000 crore in a year, and a bonus of ₹500 per quintal is being provided to fine rice farmers. District Collector Anudeep Durisetty informed that 19,690 new ration cards were being issued in Khammam district, including 4,225 in Paleru constituency and 62,000 new members have been added to the existing ration cards.
