The Praja Rajyam has described the Rs. 100 package for essentials announced by its president Chiranjeevi as a step aimed to strengthen social security as guaranteed by the Constitution.
The party leader Katti Padma Rao told a press conference here on Wednesday that the measure would boost the confidence of poor women who were hoping to improve the living conditions of their families.
They could spend just one day’s wage on provisions for a whole month while using their earnings during the period on education, clothing and shelter.
The package would check the dropout rate in schools which had peaked to 36 per cent as poor families sent their children to work to make a livelihood.
At a separate press conference, leader of the women’s wing of Praja Rajyam B. Sobha Nagi Reddy announced committees for women in the party in six districts.
