The Telangana Government is all set to introduce the volunteer system in the State, akin to the present one in force in neighbouring Andhra Pradesh.
As many as 36,000 volunteers would be enrolled by the government after the parliamentary elections to not only publicise the Congress government’s flagship programmes, but also participate in delivery of the social security pensions and other welfare benefits to the targeted beneficiaries. The government is also keen on paying honorarium to these volunteers.
Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy, according to highly placed sources, revealed his plans to the Congress leaders at a review meeting convened by Munugode MLA Komatireddy Rajagopal Reddy at his residence to discuss the party’s preparedness to face Lok Sabha polls in Bhuvanagiri parliamentary constituency.
