CM Revanth Reddy to Launch Public Governance Website Today

Hyderabad: Against the backdrop of having received 1.05 crore applications to the Praja Palana initiative, Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy will launch the state government’s exclusive website for public governance — prajapalana.telangana.gov.in — on Monday.

On the day, Reddy will also hold a high-level meeting to review applications received under the Praja Palana initiative from December 26, 2023, to January 6, and discuss steps to take them forward.

As many as 1.25 crore applications were received overall, sources said, with 1.05 crore of them for availing of five of the Six Guarantees, while the rest were related to other issues or requisitions. Details for the ‘Yuva Vikasam’ guarantee will be decided later.

Digitisation of the applications has started, commencing data entry, officials said.

Of the 33 districts, the highest number of applications were received from Hyderabad district, at 13.7 lakh, followed by Rangareddy, 10.2 lakh and Medchal-Malkajgiri 9.2 lakh. The fewest were from Komaram Bheem Asifabad, at 1.82 lakh, Jayashankar Bhupalpally 1.46 lakh, and Mulugu at 1.10 lakh.

The Praja Palana initiative was held in 16,392 gram panchayats and 710 municipal wards. Overall, 3,714 teams of officials were deployed at 44,568 counters. Senior state government officials also supervised the programme.

“The deadline set by the government to digitise/upload all the applications is January 17 and we will complete the process before that,” said a municipal administration and urban development (MA&UD) official.
 
The GHMC has hired 3,500 data entry operators and in addition to GHMC circle offices, the corporation is also using the infrastructure at educational institutions to execute the task.

“In a few cases, more than one member of the family has applied for the same scheme. The exact number of beneficiaries eligible for the schemes will be assessed only after the digitalisation is completed,” a GHMC official said.

According to the GHMC official, most applications in the city were for benefits under the Maha Lakshmi, Indiramma housing and Cheyutha guarantees.
