Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy has directed the officials to focus on resurvey of lands in villages, and establishment of digital libraries in rural and urban areas while encouraging self-employment schemes for women on a large scale under the Cheyutha programme.
At a review meeting of the Panchayat Raj and Rural Department held at the camp office at Tadepalli near here on Monday, Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy said that the women beneficiaries of Cheyutha would be fully benefited if the first tranche amounts were utilised for self-employment schemes.
The zero-interest loan scheme for women would be implemented on August 10. A constant review of the employment programmes taken up by the PR Department was necessary. A separate wing should be established for assessing the implementation of these programmes, he said, adding that officials should handhold the self-help groups of women based on periodical assessment reports for running their units successfully.
