Impact of Telangana Sheep Distribution Scheme

The sheep distribution scheme for Golla Kurumas and Yadavs and fish distribution programme for Mudiraj community have yielded good results so far. The state has surpassed Rajasthan and became number one in sheep population in the country. KCR mentioned that agriculture in Telangana region when AP was unified was in a bad shape. Former governments had also neglected and destroyed hereditary professions, hereditary occupant’s life was always intertwined with BC communities who have excellent trade skills.

Telangana state has now emerged on top in the dairy sector in the country. For dairy farmers, the government was providing subsidies and extending support in several ways. The state-run Vijaya Dairy and Karimnagar Dairy were working efficiently. After agriculture, handloom sector was the largest among hereditary professions. Padmashali community, which was given respect on a par with Brahmins in the past, became a victim of starvation and suicide deaths under united AP rulers.

CM KCR has even decided to start the second phase of the programme from the upcoming financial year 2022. Telangana govt. has allocated funds for the Sheep Distribution Program Phase 2 in the TS state budget 2021. The distribution of sheeps to shepherds and sheep producer societies in Phase 2 is going to begin soon.
