Hyderabad, Aug 15 (Hydnow): Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao has made it clear that henceforth the state government will take the responsibility of taking care of orphans in Telangana.

Orphans policy has been formulated for this purpose. KCR said that the absence of a policy for the care of orphans in the 60 years of the United Andhra Pradesh is the most tragic.

He said that after the achievement of Telangana statehood, the BR’s government has increased the support of pensions with a humanitarian perspective.  He said that the pension provided to the helpless for life security has been increased from Rs. 200 to Rs. 2016.  As of 214, the number of Asara beneficiaries was only 29 lakh, but today, their number has increased to 44 lahks.  He said a support pension facility has been provided to the elderly, widows, disabled people, beedi workers, single women, malaria victims, and dialysis patients. He said that the age limit for getting a pension has been reduced from 60 to 57 years.  It has been revealed that the government has recently increased the pension of disabled persons from Rs. 3,016 to Rs. 4,016, thereby bringing more comfort to the lives of disabled persons.
