The State government made elaborate arrangements to kick start the prestigious Rachabanda' programme in Rajam of Srikakulam district today. The programme will continue till February 12 throughout the State. The aim of the Rachabanda is to ascertain the public opinion over the execution of welfare schemes.

The official machinery is expected to be on alert in implementation of government schemes as ruling Congress party has been giving top priority for Rachabanda to minimise Jagan Mohan Reddy's impact. Chief Minister N.Kiran Kumar Reddy will reach Rajam by 11 a.m. in a helicopter and distribute assets worth of Rs.61 crore to beneficiaries of various schemes.

About Rs.150 crore worth bank linkage loans will also be ensured under the programme. As many as 66,159 families have been identified to get the benefits from government schemes.
