The Minister claimed that 95% of assurances given by the YSRCP during the election have been implemented.
He reiterated that all required certificates are being provided to the people during the Jagananna Suraksha programme to get the benefits of welfare schemes.
“Chief Minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy is giving priority to women’s welfare. He is also intended to make women self-reliant politically and financially and various programmes are being implemented in this regard,” the minister said and appealed to the people to extend support to the government.
Collector Ranjit Basha called upon people to utilise the welfare schemes being implemented for them by taking required certificates during Jagananna suraksha programme.
The Jagananna Suraksha programme is aimed at providing welfare scheme benefits to those who are not getting them, the Collector said.
All required documents and certificates would be issued at free of cost during the Suraksha programme, he stated. As many as 40,000 certificates are issued every day to the people during the Suraksha camps across the district, the Collector added.
Repalle revenue divisional officer Parthasaradhi, Vemuru constituency special officer Arjun and other officials were among who participated in the programme.
