Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) working president KT Rama Rao said on Tuesday that Telangana was a model for the entire country in  women's welfare. The Telanagana minister lauded the government's efforts towards women's welfare activities as the state marked women's welfare day as part of Formation Day celebrations.

He emphasised that women were not just half of the welfare system but an integral part. "She is not half of the sky, she is the sky," KTR tweeted. KTR highlighted the comprehensive support provided by the KCR government, ranging from care for newborn girls to elderly women.

ఆకాశంలో సగం కాదు.. “ఆమే” ఆకాశం...
సంక్షేమంలో సగం కాదు.. ”ఆమే” అగ్రభాగం...

మహిళా సంక్షేమంలో..
మన తెలంగాణ రాష్ట్రం..
యావత్ దేశానికే ఆదర్శం..

అప్పుడే పుట్టిన ఆడబిడ్డ నుంచి...
ఆరు పదులు దాటిన అవ్వల వరకు...
అందరినీ కంటికి రెప్పలా కాపాడుతోంది...

KTR highlighted initiatives such as nutrition kits for pregnant women, calling them a crucial first step in building a "healthy Telangana".

The minister said Rs 13,000 was being given along with the KCR kit for every birth. "If a baby girl is born it is as if Goddess Lakshmi has entered the house," he said.

The minister also pointed out the establishment of residential schools for girls to ensure quality education comparable to that provided by corporate institutions. He mentioned the dedicated "She Teams" of the state police, acting as a protective shield for girls, and the "We Hub" initiative that trains women to become entrepreneurs.

The BRS leader also mentioned 50 per cent reservation for women in local institutions, 100 per cent reservation in market committees, distribution of sarees during Bathukamma festival, financial assistance for marriage of girls under the Kalyana Lakshmi scheme, and monthly pension for single women and widows among other schemes in a series of tweets.

KTR asserted that Telangana sets the bar for women's welfare and empowerment, claiming there was no competition in this regard.

అమ్మఒడి వాహనమైనా..
ఆరోగ్యలక్ష్మి పథకమైనా..
నీతి ఆయోగ్ ప్రశంసల వర్షం..
పార్లమెంట్ స్టాండింగ్ కమిటీ హర్షం..

భర్తను కోల్పోయిన అక్కాచెల్లెళ్లకు అన్నలా..
ఒంటరి మహిళలకు తండ్రిలా...
ఆడబిడ్డలకు మేనమామలా..
అవ్వలకు పెద్దకొడుకులా...
కొండంత అండగా నిలుస్తున్న
ముఖ్యమంత్రి కేసిఆర్ గారిని…
