In a release here on Tuesday, CDS chairperson Mallepally Laxmaiah said that 100 members for each constituency are selected from all the constituencies with a total 11,000 beneficiaries and the government has allocated ₹ 1,190.8 crore for the scheme and ₹350 crore was already released.

“This shows the commitment of Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao towards Dalits and scientific way of implementing it,” said Mr Laxmaiah.
