As the country celebrated Republic Day on Wednesday, an event that unfolded at Shivannagudem panchayat in Kondapur mandal to commemmorate the day, stood as an inspiration for other villages.
Following the example set by Haridaspur village of the same mandal in Sangareddy district, on the occasion of Republic Day, the panchayat of Shivannagudem celebrated the birth of girl children. As many as 37 girls in the village aged below 10 years were identified and Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana (SSY) accounts were opened in their names at Sangareddy district headquarters post-office. L. Gopal Reddy, a resident of Pashamylaram, came forward to extend financial assistance to open these deposits. Mr. Gopal Reddy also promised to donate ₹ 5,000 to every girl child born in his village from now on.
