Karimnagar: Backward class welfare minister Ponnam Prabhakar emphasised that the benefits of the family survey should not be doubted, as it will be instrumental in designing welfare schemes for people of various castes. He made these remarks in Husnabad town, Karimnagar district, on Sunday.
The comprehensive survey, he said, will serve as a diagnostic tool, like an X-ray, to identify social issues. He urged representatives from all political parties and officials to participate in this historic programme and assist in gathering data by raising public awareness.
