While the many beneficiaries from across the Constituency have opted for traditional ways of earning livelihood like setting up a dairy, poultry, buying a tractor, harvester or earth moving equipment

by investing Rs 10 lakhs given by Telangana government under Dalit Bandhu, these nine beneficiaries have decided to go in a different direction following the advice of Kranthi Kiran.

Dr Muralidhar said that he will expand the services in other cities across Telangana by signing an understanding with Dalit Bandhu beneficiaries from different Assembly Constituencies. Speaking to Telangana Today, Andole MLA Kranthi Kiran has said they were working to find out some

constant income sources for the Dalit Bandhu beneficiaries.

Since Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao is going to grant funds for 1,500 more beneficiaries for the current financial year, he said that they have taken up it as a challenge to provide the best

income-generating investing options for them.

Thanking the Chief Minister for coming up with such a wonderful programme, Kranthi Kiran said that Dalit Bandhu will uplift the Dalits from seven decades of financial backwardness. Vice-Chairman of Dalit
