T-Budget on vocation groups
The Telangana government is planning to set up a ‘vocation-based’ Budget for 2017-18, in the next month. Regarding this, for the next 15 days, Telangana Chief Minister KCR will hold meetings at his new camp office to finalize the Budget allotments to each group, belonging to various castes.
TS CM has held meetings with Gangaputra community (occupation: Fishing), Golla (goat/ sheep rearing) and has lined up more such meetings with Nayee Brahmins, Rajaka (washermen) and Kummari (potters) in the coming days.
Names like B.R. Ambedkar, Babu Jagjivan Ram, Kumaram Bheem, Jyotirao Phule and Basaveswara will be prefixed to various welfare schemes targeted at different groups. On Friday, the CM held a marathon meeting of nearly six hours to discuss schemes to be implemented for the welfare and development of SCs and STs using SC/ST Sub-Plan funds.
