Udupi, May 9: The Karnataka Minorities Development Corporation (KMDC) Ltd. has implemented schemes worth Rs. 237.5 crore in the past three years and 10 months, benefiting 1.45 lakh people in the State, said its Chairperson N B Aboobakkar.

Addressing media persons here on Tuesday, he said that under the Swavalambana margin money scheme, Rs. 20.27 crore had been given to 13,602 beneficiaries. Under Arivu scheme, subsidised loans to the tune of Rs. 71.56 crore had been provided to 40,642 students from minority communities. A sum of Rs. 43.78 crore had been given to 31,867 beneficiaries under Shrama Shakti scheme. As many as 46,865 beneficiaries had been given Rs. 40.46 crore under Micro Assistance scheme. Under Ganga-Kalyana scheme, the corporation had provided Rs. 52.27 crore to 5,621 beneficiaries.

Mr. Aboobakkar said the corporation had provided Rs. 4.14 crore to 541 beneficiaries under lift irrigation scheme, and Rs. 3.09 crore as micro loans to flood-affected people.

The previous governments used to allocate Rs. 20 crore to Rs. 35 crore for the Minorities Welfare Department annually. But after the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) came to power in the State, there had been a massive increase in the allocation to the department. The BJP government allocated Rs. 128.98 crore to the department in 2008-09, Rs. 173.73 crore in 2009-10, Rs. 269.26 crore in 2010-11, and Rs. 326 crore in 2011-12. The government had provided Rs. 406 crore to the department for 2012-13, he said.

The previous governments used to allocate between Rs. 10 crore and Rs. 14 crore to the KMDC annually. But there had been an increase in the allocation to the KMDC after the BJP came to power in the State.

Bengaluru, May 2: Former chief minister and Congress leader Siddaramaiah have urged the state government to arrange free-transport facilities to those stranded labourers and their family members to return their native places.

In a statement issued here on Friday, the former chief minister criticised the State Government for having decided to collect bur fare from them, ''three-times more than the regular fare''.

Stating that the migrant labourers, who had been stranded ever since lockdown had been clamped in the entire country are not in a position to pay for their travel, Siddaramaiah urged the state government to treat them with human face.
