Hyderabad: Telangana Chief Minister A.

Reddy highlighted that this survey is essential for achieving fair social benefits.

Speaking at Children’s Day celebrations at LB Stadium in Hyderabad, the Chief Minister explained that officials are visiting homes across the state for this survey. He encouraged students to inform their parents about the survey and to support officials by cooperating fully.
