Government employees have a duty to help eligible people benefit from welfare schemes, said Additional Collector of Ranga Reddy district, Pratima Singh. She emphasized that it is the moral responsibility of employees to serve the poor and build trust between the public and the government.

He urged them to work sincerely to implement welfare schemes for the needy, which would enhance the government’s reputation. He stressed the importance of cooperation between employees and the administration to ensure the successful execution of these initiatives.

Additionally, he called for the restoration of a 24% House Rent Allowance (HRA) for employees working at the Ranga Reddy collectorate. He also asked for land to be allotted for the Telangana Gazetted Officers’ (TGO) building in the district and a room to be allocated for TGOs in the collectorate premises.
District president of the Telangana Gazetted Officers (TGOs), Dr. K. Rama Rao, highlighted that Ranga Reddy district leads in implementing welfare schemes for the poor and needy.
