But, what has made him stand out as an administrator? Here’s a look at the schemes that worked for the BRS in the state and helped the party retain its stronghold politically.

Under this program, the government has laid a network of pipelines to supply treated water to every household in the state. This has helped in reducing water-borne diseases and improving the overall health of the people.
  2. Rythu Bandhu: This is a scheme aimed at providing financial assistance to farmers in the state. Under this scheme, farmers are given financial assistance of Rs. 10,000 per acre per year to support their agriculture activities. This has helped in improving the income of farmers and reducing their dependence on moneylenders as well as greening the state and increasing its agricultural output. 
  3. Kalyana Lakshmi/Shaadi Mubarak: These are schemes aimed at providing financial assistance to girls from economically weaker sections of the society for their marriage. Under these schemes, eligible girls are given financial assistance of Rs. 1,00,116 for their marriage. This has helped in reducing the burden of marriage expenses on poor families and encouraging the education of girls.
  4. Double Bedroom Housing Scheme: This is a program aimed at providing affordable housing to the poor in the state. Under this scheme, eligible families are provided with a two-bedroom house free of cost. This has helped in reducing homelessness and improving the living conditions of the poor.
