This is a revolution for the Dalits of Telangana, who could use the scheme and get out of a life of being just laborers for others. The trio of Rajeshwari, Vijay and Dappula is an example of how with the help of a government scheme, one could change their financial status and start anew as an entrepreneur. Speaking about the process of the establishment, Rajeshwari’s husband Surender and Lingaiah both owned lorries, Vijay Kumar is a Gulf returnee. As part of their plan, they purchased three acres of land by spending Rs. 30 lakh on the outskirts of Dumala of Yellareddypet Mandal. Besides the Rs. 30 lakh sanctioned under Dalit Bandhu (Rs. 10 lakh each,) the three beneficiaries took a bank loan for the rice mill.
This is the first time beneficiaries are coming together to set up a rice mill since the launch of the scheme in August 2021.
