Speaking at a function at Valpoi to distribute sanction letters, Parulekar said: “We have distributed sanction letters in almost all the talukas with Sattari being the second last taluka and function to distribute sanction letters will be held in Pernem within few days.”
He further informed that 33,000 applications have been received from all the talukas under the scheme and about 25% of the applications have been approved in the first round and sanction letters have been given to the beneficiaries. The remaining applications are under process of approval.
“Money has already been deposited in the beneficiaries’ account. In Sattari taluka, 78 beneficiaries out of the 322 applications have got sanction letters,” he said.
“All promises made by BJP during election are being fulfilled and the government is indeed working for the welfare of common people,” added Parulekar.
