Approval of Guarantees Made Public

As soon as Revanth Reddy took the oath of office as the new Chief Minister of Telangana, he quickly agreed to all six of the promises made by the Congress party in Telangana.

The “Maha Lakshmi Scheme” is one of the most important of these pledges because it promises to give women and underprivileged groups more power by giving them free bus rides.

The “Maha Lakshmi” Scheme in more detail:

1. What the Scheme Is For

The main goal of the “Maha Lakshmi Scheme” is to make sure that girls, women of all ages, and transgender people can travel for free in Palle Velugu and express buses run by the Telangana State Road Transport Corporation (TSRTC) within the state of Telangana.

2.The date it starts

The plan started on December 9, 2023, with the goal of making it easier for the intended group to move around and get to places.

3.People who benefit

The plan specifically helps girls, women of all ages, and transgender people who live in Telangana by giving them free ways to move within the state.

4. Rules for traveling between states

People who are eligible can take inter-state Express and Palle Velugu buses for free up to the borders of Telangana State.

5.How to Get Paid Back

The Telangana government will pay back TSRTC for fares that should have been charged based on the real distance that women passengers traveled.

6. Responsibilities for Implementation

The Vice Chairman and Managing Director of TSRTC have been told to take the next steps needed to make the “Maha Lakshmi” scheme work and to give clear directions on how to do so.

7. Plans for the future

There are plans to make a “Maha Lakshmi” smart card that runs on software. The goal of this project is to make it easy for people to get the benefits of the plan by making the process completely smooth and quick.
