Hyderabad: Transport and BC welfare minister Ponnam Prabhakar on Wednesday inaugurated the 'Samatha Kitchen' at the Hyderabad district collectorate as part of the state government's 99-day "Praja Palana - Pragathi Pranalika" programme and distributed 2BHK housing title deeds to beneficiaries in Bahadurpura and Karwan constituencies.

The minister said the initiative was aimed at promoting inclusive development and creating livelihood opportunities. "The government places great priority on the Samatha Kitchen initiative, which aims to create employment opportunities for persons with disabilities, transgender individuals, and other marginalised communities," he said.

Hyderabad collector Harichandana Dasari said the focus was on sustainable livelihoods through employment-oriented initiatives. She added that skill development training would be tailored to persons with disabilities and transgender individuals to enhance employment opportunities.

At Karwan in the Old City, the minister distributed 76 2BHK housing title deeds in Farooqnagar of Bahadurpura constituency and 175 in Jiyaguda, Karwan constituency. "We have completed the remaining pending works and are now delivering these double-bedroom houses to the beneficiaries," he said.

He said the government would continue distribution to all eligible beneficiaries. "This government will distribute title deeds to the remaining eligible individuals as well," he said.

Referring to welfare measures, the minister said, "In the last 10 years, not a single ration card was issued. Under the leadership of Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy and through the 'Praja Palana', we have distributed new ration cards. If there are still any eligible individuals remaining, ration cards will be distributed to them at any time; this is a continuous process. Beyond just ration cards, we are also distributing high-quality, fine-grain rice suitable for consumption. We are providing a free electricity supply of up to 200 units."

He said the government was allocating 3,500 'Indiramma' houses in each constituency, particularly in villages, with financial assistance of `5 lakh per unit, and added that more than 70,000 jobs had been created in recent times. Rajya Sabha member Anil Kumar Yadav, Khairatabad MLA Danam Nagender and other officials attended the programme.
