It is very clear from the above allocations that the state government is deviating itself away from most of the Welfare Schemes started by late Chief Minister Y.S. Rajasekhar Reddy. YSR’s pet scheme Jalayagnam has not been given priority it was received earlier. Some relief for the social sector is huge allocations for Primary Education.
You can drop your views and perspectives on AP Budget 2011-12 allocations through comment.
Jalayagnam doesn’t provide any benefit, excluding it does save some money and time as well.
Dear Fellow citizens of AP and unemployed youth of AP,
I have excellent plan for generating huge employment and entrepreneurs for Youth in bottom of the pyramid area and having poor family and educational background youth.
Interested NGO’s can send me their profile for providing a good opportunity for everyone and they can become owners of their own business with very low or no investment.
If government of AP comes forward to help these youth I will be happy to work for them.
Pls do send your views and feedbacks if find it interesting.
Regards,
Venugopal Rao N.
