Hyderabad: Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy on Thursday said the State government allocated Rs.17,056 crore for the tribal welfare, prioritizing their needs. Extending greetings to tribals on the occasion of ‘World Tribal Day,’ he recalled that in the past, tribal hamlets were neglected despite declaring them as panchayats. The panchayats failed to get necessary funds from the State government earlier. He said the Congress government in Telangana was committed to providing basic amenities like roads, electricity, healthcare, and education in tribal hamlets and added that the State government was committed to protecting the rights of tribals ensuring their welfare and development.
