This verification is now concentrated on the units sanctioned during last five years in the district.

The collector said that present verification will concentrate on village-wise beneficiaries who get the loans for setting up of various units. If the beneficiary did not ground the unit, the officials will recover the subsidy amount from those defaulter-beneficiaries.
He stated that the administration will take action against the bankers, who sanctioned loans to the beneficiaries who did not set up the units.The collector pointed out that during the last two years 11,681 beneficiaries had been sanctioned loans under Kapu Corporation and 5,149 beneficiaries under SC Corporation schemes. 349 tribes have sanctioned loans under various tribal welfare schemes. The collector directed officials to verify the status of these units and upload the photos of the grounded units.
