Telangana - First to give pension to single women The Telangana government was the only government in the country to launch welfare schemes such as pension for single women for the betterment of society.

The government was also proving pension to senior citizens, widows, disabled persons, and beedi workers.

Following petitions on the plight of single women deserted by their husbands and relatives, the government decided to distribute pension of INR 1,000 per month to such women on humanitarian grounds.

Stating that the earlier government had spent only INR 800 crore on pension to 29 lakh beneficiaries, he said the Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) government was providing pension to 38 lakh persons spending INR 5,600 crore per annum.

The government had also increased the Kalyana Laxmi and Shaadi Mubarak scheme amount from INR 50,116 to INR 75,116.
