This welfare scheme has turned Telangana to a meat exporting State: Talasani Srinivas Yadav
The subsidised sheep distribution scheme for eligible Golla-Kuruma beneficiaries, launched by Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao in 2017, has turned Telangana to a meat exporting State, Minister for Animal Husbandry Talasani Srinivas Yadav said on Saturday.
“Not only is the population of sheep in Telangana, as per Livestock Census, ranked first in the country, but the scheme has also made many people dependent on this caste-based occupation successful businesspersons,” he said.
Mr. Srinivas Yadav was in Nalgonda on Saturday to re-launch the distribution of pending sheep units from phase-I. He said that there were 28,335 beneficiaries in the State, who had paid their contribution and were awaiting sheep distribution.
