Telangana government will launch ‘Indiramma Bima’ insurance scheme across the state on the occasion of Telangana formation day on June 2, said Deputy Chief Minister Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka.

“The scheme, which envisages an insurance cover of ₹5,000 for 1.15 lakh families in the state, will be launched as a gift on the state’s foundation day,” he added.

He was speaking at a function organized by the District Congress Committee to thank newly appointed Sthambadri Urban Development Authority (SUDA) Chairman P. Durgaprasad and Grandhalaya Samstha District Chairman Mohd. Khader Baba in Khammam on Sunday.

The ‘Indiramma Bima’ scheme would act as a protective shield for 1.15 lakh families in the state, irrespective of caste, religion or economic status. Officials will soon visit each household to collect details regarding the scheme, he said. He said that the relatives of desperate farmers who died by suicide had to fight even to secure minimal financial assistance during the BRS government.

On women empowerment initiatives, Mr. Vikramarka said a nationwide initiative to allot solar power plants to women self-help groups will be formally launched at Rajupalem village in Errupalem mandal of Khammam district on May 27. Agriculture Minister Tummala Nageswara Rao, Khammam MP R. Raghuram Reddy and others were present.
