The State Cabinet is scheduled to convene on June 5 to deliberate on several critical issues, including the ambitious Rajiv Yuva Vikasam programme and the Cabinet Sub-Committee report on employee-related matters.

The decision was taken during a meeting of ministers chaired by Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy at the Integrated Command Control Centre on Sunday (June 01). It was attended by Deputy Chief Minister Bhatti Vikramarka and all the Ministers.

The upcoming Cabinet meeting is expected to be a significant one, as it will address two major constituencies that were instrumental in the Congress party’s return to power — the youth and government employees.

The Rajiv Yuva Vikasam scheme, which has emerged as a flagship initiative aimed at youth empowerment, received overwhelming interest from the public. Ministers informed the Chief Minister that the volume of applications had exceeded expectations and flagged widespread complaints about attempts by ineligible individuals to exploit the scheme.

To ensure transparency and credibility, the Cabinet will consider delaying the final announcement of beneficiaries until all applications are thoroughly screened. “Not a single ineligible person should benefit from the scheme,” the CM said indicating the government’s fairness intent.

In addition, the Cabinet will take up the report submitted by the committee on employee issues. Deputy Chief Minister Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka, who received the report earlier, briefed the meeting on its findings. The meeting felt that the government must prepare a roadmap on all the demands of employees, and it requested the Deputy CM to conduct the next meeting with the government employee leaders soon to resolve them.

The Ministers also reviewed reports from their recent visits to districts on May 29 and 30, where they assessed preparations for major initiatives like finalisation of list of beneficiaries of Indiramma house scheme, Revenue department conferences, and the cultivation readiness for the monsoon season.

The ministers lauded Minister for Civil Supplies N. Uttam Kumar Reddy for his proactive efforts in streamlining grain procurement operations, ensuring minimal disruption to farmers.
