Hyderabad: Telangana Animal Husbandry Minister T Srinivas Yadav on Saturday said that the Dalit Bandhu will benefit 1500 people per constituency in its second instalLment and added that the scheme was launched with the intention of every Dalit person in the state to progress financially.

The minister added that the Telangana government is trying to emulate the teachings of Dr BR Ambedkar and Babu Jagjivan Ram.
In the Telangana budget session for the fiscal year 2022-23, the ruling government has allocated Rs 17,700 crores for the Dalit Bandhu scheme.
