Minister for Rural Development and Panchayat Raj Priyank Kharge has said that the State government is committed to ensuring the welfare of the poor, the marginalised and the vulnerable sections of society. The Congress-led government’s model of development is inclusive and based on the principles of Buddha, Basaveshwara and Ambedkar, he said.
After unfurling the tri-colour and inspecting the 77th Independence Day parade on the District Armed Reserve Police Grounds in Kalaburagi on Tuesday, Mr. Kharge said that the State government is committed to ensuring the overall development of the district and the State.
Describing the five guarantee schemes as the biggest ever welfare measure for improving the economic conditions of the vulnerable sections of society, Mr. Kharge said that the government has implemented four of the schemes and around 50-60 lakh women are benefiting from the Shakti scheme every day. As many as 94 lakh women have benefited from the scheme in Kalaburagi district alone.
