He said that the government has provided Rs 1,100 crore to the beneficiaries in the state so far during the lockdown period.

Since the launch of the scheme, the government has spent Rs 5,556 crore and around 7,14,575 families have been benefitted.

The minister said that all the details of the beneficiaries will be entered into the system after which the cheques will be issued as assured by the Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao.
