At a programme organised by the Telangana Minorities Finance Corporation at the NAC Centre, Shabbir Ali distributed sewing machines to eligible minority women. He said the government was taking special measures to economically empower minority women and help them lead a dignified life through self-employment.
Shabbir Ali said 1,700 sewing machines were being distributed in Nizamabad district at a cost of Rs 1.02 crore. Of these, 500 machines were given to women from the Nizamabad Urban constituency. The scheme would help several families secure steady livelihood opportunities, he said.

Shabbir Ali urged the beneficiaries to make proper use of the sewing machines, develop their work into small enterprises and grow to a level where they could provide employment to others. He said steps were being taken to ensure that every welfare scheme reached eligible beneficiaries in a transparent manner.
Later, Shabbir Ali distributed CMRF cheques to eligible beneficiaries at a programme held at the R&B Guest House in Nizamabad on Tuesday. He said the Chief Minister’s Relief Fund was a major support for poor families facing financial hardship due to illness, accidents and other emergencies.
He said the Congress government was standing by poor people who could not afford costly medical treatment. The government’s aim was to treat people’s difficulties as its own and extend help to them in times of need, he said.
Shabbir Ali said the CMRF scheme was bringing relief to many distressed families by providing immediate financial assistance. A total of 42 beneficiaries from various divisions of Nizamabad town were given CMRF cheques worth Rs 28 lakh.
He assured that he would continue to make efforts to ensure that every eligible person received assistance from the Chief Minister’s Relief Fund. He said the scheme was being implemented transparently and cheques were being handed over directly to beneficiaries without middlemen, recommendations or extra expenses.
Shabbir Ali asked officials, public representatives and party leaders to work in coordination to ensure that the benefits reached genuine beneficiaries.
