Terming the guarantee schemes being implemented by his government as powerful tools in the empowerment of common people, Minister for Youth Empowerment, Sports and Tribal Welfare and Ballari district in-charge B. Nagendra has said that Karnataka has emerged as a model state in the country in the development of disadvantaged and marginalised sections by implementing the country’s largest social security programmes.
“We promised five guarantee schemes during the last Assembly elections and people blessed us with their votes. After coming to power, we are now successfully implementing them. We are delivering as promised. With the implementation of these schemes, Karnataka has emerged as a model for other States in the country. All other States are looking at us and exploring the ways and means to introduce similar schemes,” Mr. Nagendra said.
He was speaking at a district-level conference of guarantee schemes beneficiaries in Ballari on Monday.
