State BC Welfare, Economically Backward Classes Welfare, Handlooms and Textiles Minister Smt. S. Savita said that steps are being taken to improve the infrastructure of BC hostels in the state.
Minister Savita held a review meeting with the officials of the BC Welfare, Handlooms, Textiles and Lepakshi departments of the joint East Godavari district in Rajamhandravaram on Sunday.
He said that the health care of students is being given top priority. “We want to take steps towards developing BC hostels through CSR partnership under social responsibility. Medical check-ups should be conducted on the health of students from time to time and necessary medical facilities should be provided continuously,” he suggested.
He said that according to the vision of Chief Minister Nara Chandrababu Naidu, the government is committed to the comprehensive development of BC communities and the government will move forward in coordination towards increasing the economic, social and educational level of BC communities.
The government explained that the main goal is to provide market links to BC professionals through handloom, lepakshi and Apco organizations, increase sales and encourage self-employment. He said that in order to secure the educational future of BC students, the government is not only providing basic facilities in hostels and Gurukul schools, but also paying special attention to health, safety and quality education.
Parents are sending their children to hostels with great trust. It is our responsibility to maintain that trust. The minister made it clear that priority should be given to the education, health and safety of children.
Quality lepakshi products should be displayed and promoted on a large scale. The beneficiaries should take full advantage of the incentives provided by the government in the handloom and textile sectors. He said that more speed is needed in the implementation of schemes in Kakinada, Konaseema and East Godavari districts. In that order, officials said that 16 Apco shops are being operated in the joint East and West Godavari districts.
