AP CM seeks report on progress of welfare schemes for tribals

The Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister, Mr K. Rosaiah, has directed the officials to submit a fortnightly report on the progress of schemes and projects aimed at welfare of the tribals and Below Poverty Line (BPL) families living in remote areas.

Tackling Extremism

At a review meeting on the progress of welfare and development activities in tribal, interior and remote areas in the State with the Minister for Tribal Welfare and Remote and Interior Areas Development, Mr Pasupuleti Balaraju, the Home Minister, Ms Sabitha Indra Reddy, and higher officials here on Sunday, Mr Rosaiah said faster development of remote areas could wean away youth from joining militant movements.

“I want to ensure that the tribals and other rural poor, though live in remote and interior areas, are not denied benefits of all welfare and development programs like food security, healthcare, housing and employment generation,” the Chief Minister said. About Rs 3,842 crore was earmarked for rural development in the State during the current year to promote roads, drinking water, housing, employment generation and comprehensive development of lands of rural poor.

“An amount of Rs 8,892 is being spent on providing employment to 2.75 crore labourers in rural areas, particularly in remote and tribal areas,” Mr Rosaiah said.

The State Government had already launched a focused and special remote and interior development programme in all extremist-infested areas with the objective to eliminate rural poverty, which drove the unemployed and illiterate youth towards extremism.

Review meeting

The review meeting was conducted in view of the Chief Minister's visit to Delhi to participate in the meeting on internal security on July 14, 2010, according to sources.
