State Transport Minister Puvvada Ajay Kumar emphasized the Telangana government’s commitment to uplift the lives of underprivileged individuals and support economic development in marginalized caste-based professions during an event in Khammam city. The minister distributed cheques worth Rs 3 crore to 300 beneficiaries under the BC Bandhu scheme, which provides a subsidy of one lakh rupees to eligible families.
