Lack of enough govt. land, high rate of private land prevented 3-acre land allotment to Dalits: Harish Rao

hyderabad

The Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) government could not implement the promise of 3 acres of land to every Dalit family due to the non-availability of sufficient government land and high rates of private land, BRS leader and Minister T. Harish Rao said here on Sunday.

“That is why Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao had conceived the Dalit Bandhu scheme and the government is giving a grant of ₹10 lakh to every beneficiary Dalit family so that they can take up some economic activity for their livelihood or business. The move to uplift Dalits will continue until the last family is covered,” Mr. Harish Rao said at a meeting of the Madiga Reservation Porata Samithi (MRPS) led by Vangapalli Srinivas.
