On Sunday, the government issued a GO releasing Rs 5,510 crore as part of the budgetary allocation for the scheme by the government. The Chief Minister will launch the scheme on Tuesday, October 15 at Kaktur in Nellore district.
Meanwhile, Opposition Telugu Desam Party is criticizing the Government for going back on the promising of giving the total amount and now making it including the amount given under Pradhana Mantri Kisaan Samaan Yojana.
