Collectors told to speed up selection of beneficiaries for Sheep Rearing Scheme
Special Chief Secretary Suresh Chandra directed the officials concerned to complete the process of selection of beneficiaries for distributing sheep under the ‘Sheep Rearing Scheme’ introduced by the State government.
Karimnagar/ Peddapally: Special Chief Secretary Suresh Chandra directed the officials concerned to complete the process of selection of beneficiaries for distributing sheep under the ‘Sheep Rearing Scheme’ introduced by the State government.
Addressing all District Collectors through a video conference here on Friday, he instructed the Collectors to identify the beneficiaries in villages covering various mandals under the ‘Sheep Rearing scheme’ and complete the process of selecting them through lottery system in the presence of people’s representatives.
The Special Chief Secretary said that it was not possible to distribute large number of sheep to all the beneficiaries at the same time. The beneficiaries were being selected on lottery basis in the presence of local leaders to prevent irregularities in the distribution of sheep. This would also ensure transparency in the entire process, he added, he added.
In turn, the Peddapally District in-charge Collector S Prabhakar Reddy directed the officials concerned to take all necessary steps for distributing sheep to the selected 10,400 beneficiaries in the district. He appealed to all the beneficiaries to be present at the Collectorate by 4 PM on Monday with a Demand Draft of Rs.31, 200 taken on the name of the District Collector.
Karimnagar District Collector Sarfaraz Ahmed suggested to the officials to make necessary arrangements for transporting the sheep after their distribution to the beneficiaries. He also said that each unit will consist of 20+1 sheep and told the officials of Forest Department to take necessary steps for providing fodder for the sheep after their arrival to the district until they are distributed to the beneficiaries. Officials of Animal Husbandry department attended the meeting.
