Sheep distribution scheme becomes \'cash transfer scheme\' ahead of Munugode bypoll

Deccan Chronicle  

Hyderabad: In a sudden development, the state government has converted its sheep distribution scheme as ‘cash transfer scheme’ in the undivided Nalgonda district, where the Munugode Assembly constituency is having bypoll on November 3. “To avoid this delay, the government decided to introduce the direct cash benefit scheme that will enable the Golla/Kuruma community members to purchase sheep on their own.” The government asked collectors of Bhongir and Nalgonda districts, part of undivided Nalgonda district, to transfer the subsidy amount to the selected beneficiaries.

As part of sheep distribution scheme, the government distributes 20 sheep and one ram to each beneficiary, costing Rs 1.75 lakh.
