Hyderabad: Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy has completed one year in office by overcoming many hurdles and implementing the promises made during the elections a year ago. Apart from implementing the six guarantees, the people’s government took many other initiatives for the welfare of poorer sections and development of the Telangana state.

Though the state financial situation was not promising, the Chief Minister moved forward through fiscal discipline balancing the payments of mounting debts and the release of funds for welfare schemes. Revanth Reddy was sworn in as Chief Minister on December 7 last year. The CM was busy preparing innovative programmes every day by holding review meetings. Apart from six guarantees, the government has also introduced 160 more schemes and programmes. It included the payment of salaries to government employees on the first day of every month, Rs 860 crore CMRF benefit to the needy, Rs 1 crore accident insurance to Singareni workers, employees transfers, successful conduct of DSC and Group-I exams, more than 50,000 job recruitment in the government, metro rail expansion, Young India Sports University, Young India Skills University, Integrated Residential Schools, etc.

The Chief Minister's efforts to introduce Telangana as the Future State and Hyderabad as the Future City to the world have yielded results in the first year itself.
