BRS fulfilled Kumram Bheem’s ideals, avowed objectives of Telangana movement: KTR

Minister for Industries and IT K T Rama Rao has said that the ongoing ‘podu’ land pattas distribution drive is a shining example of the BRS government’s commitment to empowerment of tribals inspired by legendary Adivasi martyr Kumram Bheem’s ideals of ‘Jal Jangal Zameen.’

The BRS government led by K Chandrasekhar Rao fulfilled the long-cherished aspirations of tribals by issuing title deeds to 1.51 lakh tribal families for a total extent of 4.06 lakh acres of ‘podu’ lands in the State, Mr Rama Rao said, addressing a gathering of tribal people after handing over ‘podu’ land pattas to them in Sircilla on Thursday.

Kumram Bheem Asifabad district was carved and named after the legendary Adivasi leader after the formation of Telangana, he said, adding that as many as 3,416 tribal hamlets/gudems were upgraded to gram panchayats across the State, empowering thousands of tribal people.
