Guarantee scheme disbursals have crossed Rs 1.1 lakh crore in Karnataka: Governor Thawar Chand Gehlot in R-Day speech

“Guarantee schemes introduced by the Government based on the concept of Universal Basic Income have brought significant changes in the lives of women. Karnataka’s programmes have made it possible to ensure children’s education, healthcare, better nutrition, and economic activities necessary to build self-reliant lives,” he said.

The Governor said Karnataka was at the forefront in attracting foreign investments and ranked first in justice delivery. “Special task forces have been established to further strengthen communal harmony, resulting in sustained peace in communally sensitive areas,” he said.

On internal reservation for Scheduled Caste communities, for which legislation was passed in the Winter Session held in December, he said that the long-pending issue has been resolved and is now at the implementation stage.

Regarding improving power supply infrastructure in Karnataka, Governor Gehlot said that state-owned companies have prepared action plans to generate an additional 4,794 MW of power.
