Kothagudem/Hyderabad, June 29 (Maxim News): In a significant move to uplift the marginalised tribal communities, Governor of Telangana has sanctioned ₹48.17 lakh for the development of Poosukunta and Gogulamudi villages, home to the Konda Reddi tribes, in Dammapeta and Aswaraopet mandals of the Bhadradri Kothagudem district.
The villages have been officially adopted by the Governor, and the funds are being allocated to enhance infrastructure, health, employment, and skill development in these remote tribal settlements.
During a virtual review meeting held from Raj Bhavan, Principal Secretary to the Governor, Dana Kishore, directed officials to ensure that the sanctioned funds are judiciously utilized for meaningful tribal development. He emphasized that the focus should be on empowering tribal farmers and unemployed youth by creating sustainable livelihood opportunities and improving public infrastructure.
Key Projects Underway:
According to ITDA Project Officer B. Rahul, the development efforts are already in motion. Two units of tent house equipment worth ₹10 lakh have been provided to local unemployed youth. Within the next 15 days, the following additional resources will be delivered:
- Two power tillers and 20 solar-powered pump sets for tribal farmers
- A 5 KV generator for the Gubbala Mangamma temple
- Nine bamboo artifact machines, one agarbatti-making machine, and one sambrani cup-making machine to aid local self-employment
Additionally, training programs have been initiated for Konda Reddi women in beekeeping, bamboo crafts, and the production of incense burners. Plans are in place to establish dedicated manufacturing units to scale up local production and provide regular income for tribal households.
The Red Cross Society has also received funding to improve healthcare access for tribals in remote Bhadrachalam regions.
A Step Towards Tribal Empowerment
This initiative underlines the Telangana government’s focus on inclusive development and tribal welfare, ensuring that the most underserved communities are not left behind. With skill-building, sustainable farming support, and healthcare infrastructure being prioritized, the move aims to transform the socio-economic landscape of the Konda Reddi villages.
