Hyderabad: Seemingly taking the road less traveled, Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao on Wednesday said his government is encouraging inter-caste marriages to pave the way for a casteless society.
"Various schemes have been launched for the empowerment of Dalits. The government is striving to encourage inter-caste marriages to pave the way for a casteless society," KCR said.
KCR was paying tributes to BR. Ambedkar on his 130th birth anniversary on Wednesday.
"It was because of Dr. Ambedkar's foresight that the Telangana was born. The state government has taken inspiration from his works and implemented several schemes for the welfare of the oppressed classes," he said.
KCR said Dr. Ambedkar's ideals were imbibed in the schemes or programmes being implemented to strengthen the rural economy and provide self respect to the weaker sections.
"A special fund was created for the development of Dalits based on their population and funds that were not spent during a financial year were being transferred to the next year without diverting them to other departments," he said.
