SHOCKING: Telangana received less than 3 per cent from central schemes - What They Never Told You

The State Cabinet was informed on Thursday that the government had received less than 3 per cent of its total expenditure of ₹1.84 lakh crore in 2021-22 from Centrally Sponsored Schemes (CSSs). It received just ₹5,200 crore.

At a meeting presided by Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao, officials brought to his notice that despite the raw deal meted out by the Centre, the growth rate of revenue by the State government was 15.3 per cent this financial year. The receipts from CSSs and other programmes of the Centre were minus 12.9 per cent this year.

The meeting mainly discussed resource mobilisation by government in the face of a large amount of revenue deficit so far this financial year.
