By SNV Sudhir

Paderu(Vizag Agency), Dec 19, 2012:  In an attempt to ride over the success of passing historic SC ST Sub Plan Bill 2012, in state Assembly, chief minister Mr N Kiran Kumar Reddy  chose the occasion to explain its contents and importance to tribals in Dalimputt in Paderu as part of the third day of his Indiramma Baata on Wednesday.

 “Nobody knows the importance of the Sub plan. Its your right to know the contents of the Bill. Now, every rupee allocated to tribals in the annual budget has to be spent on them alone. Those funds can’t be diverted. even a normal tribal can question authorities and can book any officer if found not spending funds menat for them,” said the Chief Minister.

With most tribal areas in the state lagging behind in all sectors-health, education, roads, Kiran Kumar Reddy said that his government was trying its best to improve the standards and conditions in Agency tracts for their welfare. he said efforts were on bring down the infant mortality rate by providing better hospital facilities for pregnant women.

He also assured the tribals he would sanction a residential school in the vicinity for the benefit of their children who had to travel far to go to school and enquired about the proper implementation of the NREGS and other welfare programmes in their areas.
