RAJANNA-SIRCILLA: BRS working president and Minister KT Rama Rao on Thursday said that after the formation of Telangana, the BRS government ensured that justice is delivered to all sections of the society.
The minister handed over pattas for over 2,858 acres to 1,614 tribals in the Rajanna-Sircilla district. Speaking on the occasion, he said: “Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao has endeared himself to Adivasis and tribals by resolving the long-pending podu lands issue and by giving pattas to them.”

“Thandas has been developed into gram panchayats. The government is ensuring that the benefits of welfare schemes are reaching every tribal household. Dedicated buildings are being constructed for the benefit of tribals. Thousands of tribal students are being provided quality education in Gurukul schools “ he said.
