Govt extends pension support to over 14,000 new HIV patients
Hyderabad: The Telangana government has once again demonstrated its compassionate approach by providing vital financial security to HIV patients. Panchayat Raj and Rural Development Minister Dhanasri Anasuya (Seethakka) on Monday signed the file granting assistance pensions to 14,084 newly identified HIV victims. These beneficiaries are set to begin receiving their pensions from July. The decision was made recognising that HIV victims often face significant challenges, including a reduced ability to work fully and substantial monthly medical expenses. This assistance falls under a scheme designed to improve the quality of life for HIV victims suffering from poverty. Prior to this recent sanction, 34,421 individuals were already receiving a monthly pension of Rs 2,016, for which the state has been spending Rs 6.93 crore each month. No new pensions had been sanctioned in the HIV category after August 2022. However, following recent registrations with the Telangana State AIDS Control Society (TGSACS), 14,084 newly eligible persons have now been granted pensions through SERP after their eligibility was confirmed. The district-wise breakdown of eligible candidates includes Hyderabad with 3,019 beneficiaries, Nalgonda with 1,388, Khammam with 954, Suryapet with 931, Karimnagar with 833, Adilabad with 482, Bhadradri Kothagudem with 556, Hanamkonda with 825, Jagtiala with 306, Janagaon with 228, Kamareddy with 702, Mahabub Nagar with 452, Nizamabad with 528, Peddapalli with 567, Sangareddy with 1242, Siddipet with 527, and Vikarabad with 544. Officials clarified, however, that no new pensioners were added from the districts of Jayashankar Bhupalpally, Gadwal, Mancherial, Medak, Mulugu, Nagarkurnool, Narayanpet, and Nirmal. The estimated cost for these new beneficiaries for the current financial year is Rs 28.40 crore, with official sources confirming that the necessary funds are readily available with the government. Additionally, 4,020 dialysis patients were granted pensions this month. Both these groups have expressed their gratitude to the government for the recent grant of pensions to HIV victims.

Before that, all the collectors should check how they are being managed. For the first time, we have given holidays to Anganwadis.

Govt to roll out ‘Bala Bharosa' for emergency treatment to kids
Hyderabad: The Telangana Government is set to launch the 'Bala Bharosa' scheme imminently, which is a new initiative aimed at providing emergency medical treatment for children aged under five. This announcement was made by Panchayat Raj Minister Dhanasri Anasuya, also known as Seethakka, during a video conference with district collectors on Monday. The Minister explained that under the 'Bala Bharosa' scheme, all necessary medical tests for children below the age of five would be conducted, and any required surgeries would be performed free of charge. Emphasising the importance of government schools and Anganwadi centres, where many children from less privileged backgrounds receive their education, Seethakka urged collectors to recognise their crucial role. 'Telangana will only truly prosper if Anganwadis and government schools are strong. Their impact shapes the future of Telangana. Therefore, give them special focus,' she stated. The Minister also highlighted progress on student uniforms, noting that women's groups are stitching them for government school students, with approximately 90 per cent of the work for the current academic year already completed. She assured that uniforms would be distributed to all students on the school's opening day, contrasting this with previous delays where uniforms were sometimes received six months into the academic year. With Anganwadis scheduled to reopen on June 11, Seethakka instructed collectors to inspect their management beforehand. 'For the first time, we have given holidays to Anganwadis,' she noted, calling for field level staff to inspect Anganwadi buildings. She urged steps to encourage children to enrol in Anganwadis and called for these centres to be made comparable to private play schools, ensuring facilities such as drinking water, electricity, and toilets are provided. The Minister called for the 'Amma Maata Anganwadi batha' programme, launching on June 11, to be a success. She also directed that dilapidated Anganwadi centres be relocated to nearby vacant government buildings and announced plans to construct 1,000 new Anganwadi buildings, for which land identification should begin immediately. Furthermore, the Minister stated that the Indira Mahila Shakti is a flagship programme of Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy, and collectors should strive to make one crore women 'crorepatis' (millionaires). She stressed that strengthening women's groups is key to realising the vision of 'Telangana Rising 2047'. Collectors should work to ensure that women's groups establish solar plants and petrol stations, identifying required land immediately and commencing work. With solar plants set to launch on October 2, the Minister asked collectors to focus particularly on achieving this target. Agreements have already been made with solar installation companies district wise, and work on the solar plants should commence in coordination with them. Construction of Indira Mahila Shakti Bhavans in 22 districts should be completed by November, she added, urging expedited work in coordination with Panchayati Raj Engineering Department officials.

The cultural exchange wasn't just visual, it was deeply emotional. Panchayat Raj Minister Dhanasri Anasuya (Seethakka) graced the event, encouraging both the Miss World delegates and the SHG women whose stalls proudly showcased handmade goods ranging from textiles to organic products. The stalls reflected not just skill but stories of resilience, self-reliance, and collective growth. It was more than an excursion. It was an experience of how tradition meets transformation, and how women across the world, whether on global stages or in local markets, are shaping the future together. Meanwhile, the Miss World 2025 participants brought more than grace to Victoria Memorial Home as they brought joy, hope, and moments that will echo in little hearts for years to come. From lighting lamps of possibility to dancing in celebration of dreams, this High Tea was more than an event, it was a reminder that kindness is always in style. The contestants interacted with the students of the Social Welfare Residential School. 107 contestants participating in the Miss World pageant, along with the current Miss World Krystyna Pyszková interacted with the students staying in the government hostel here. They said that hard work, along with the acquisition of knowledge, will make them powerful only if they excel in education.
