The Telangana’s Congress government led by Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy has set a new record by providing quick and generous aid through the Chief Minister’s Relief Fund (CMRF). In his first year, the government disbursed Rs.830 crore, directly helping over 1.66 lakh poor and middle-class families in Telangan.
This amount is much higher than the previous government’s annual average of Rs.480 crore, which totaled Rs.2,400 crore over five years.
Out of Rs.830 crore, Rs.590 crore was spent on medical treatments not covered by the Aarogyasri health scheme. The rest was given through Letters of Credit (LOC) to help families afford urgent and expensive medical care.
