Bhupalpally: Stating that there was scope for setting up units related to the food processing industry, dairy and horticulture, State Dalit Bandhu scheme advisor V Laxma Reddy asked officials to encourage beneficiaries to take up units related to agriculture, dairy and fisheries departments.

He was addressing an awareness meeting for beneficiaries on ‘business strategy, and marketing skills to improve their businesses’ here on Wednesday.

Speaking on the occasion, he said that there was a need to increase the milk production in the district.

District Collector Bhavesh Mishra said 151 beneficiaries had been selected under the Dalit Bandhu scheme in the district. “120 units of the are from the transport sector, and 31 units are from the other sectors.
