The CM then spoke about the initiatives taken by the government to make women crorepatis. As a part of it, we have arranged for women to run Indira Shakti canteens in big corporates.
We got women groups to buy buses and then took them on lease by TSRTC. We have also decided to include 1 crore women in self help groups (SGH). In the past, the solar power projects were started by Ambani and Adani. Soon, we will ensure that women start solar power projects, said the Telangana CM.

The CM took the opportunity to laud the various schemes of Indira Gandhi like Indiramma Indlu, ration cards, assigned lands, etc. Revanth Reddy also said that credit goes to Rajiv Gandhi for providing reservations to women in local bodies.

Soon, women reservations will be implemented in the Assembly, he said. The seats will soon increase to 153 seats. Of this 33% means 51 seats. To this, Revanth said he will add another 9 seats and provide 60 MLA seats. The onus is mine, promised Revanth Reddy.
