The district administration in Rangareddy is now computerizing the details of applicants who applied for schemes under the ‘Six Guarantee’ program. This comes after a 10-day-long Praja Palana program. Special staff has been hired to scrutinize the applications and make the information available online. District Collector K Shashanka visited the Bandlaguda Jagir Municipal Corporation to inspect the computerization process, accompanied by Additional Collector Pratima Singh and Municipal Commissioner Sarath Chandra.
