Hyderabad: Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy announced a series of major decisions aimed at making women from self-help groups financially strong and creating crorepatis across Telangana by 2034. The Chief Minister directed officials to prepare plans for launching corporate-level Indira Mahila Shakti Super Bazaars in all constituency headquarters and virtually laid foundation stones for 8,000 Indira Stree Shakti buildings from the Dr B R Ambedkar Telangana State Secretariat.

Telangana Government Plans Corporate-Level Indira Mahila Shakti Super Bazaars

The Chief Minister said comprehensive plans should be prepared to establish women-run super bazaars in all 119 constituency headquarters on a corporate model.

He instructed officials to identify government land and lease it to women self-help groups for 30 years on a nominal rental basis during the first phase.

Revanth Reddy told Ponguleti Srinivasa Reddy to prepare proposals accordingly.

He also announced that the state government would provide a corpus fund for the establishment of the super bazaars, while women from the groups should also contribute some investment.

Rice Mills, Warehouses and Logistics Centers Planned in Every Mandal

The Chief Minister directed collectors to prepare proposals for construction of rice mills and warehouses in every mandal under the supervision of self-help groups.

He said the government would take responsibility for arranging loans from banks for these projects.

Addressing women self-help groups, Revanth Reddy said:

“Set up rice mills yourselves. Build logistics centers. The responsibility of providing land in mandals is mine. Construct large warehouses. In the future, we will take responsibility for getting loans from banks.”

He further stated that some millers and middlemen were cheating the government and giving these responsibilities to women would ensure accountability.
