Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy said on Monday that his government is holding talks with Amazon to help women entrepreneurs sell their products to international markets, part of a broader push to strengthen the state’s economic base and expand opportunities in his home constituency.
Addressing a rally after inaugurating a centralised mid-day meal kitchen to be run by Akshaya Patra Foundation at Kodangal, Reddy said the state government has plans to transform the CM’s assembly segment into an educational hub in 16 months.
According to him, the Congress government has allotted solar power plants and purchased buses for the Telangana State Road Transport Corporation under a lease model, to make them (women) richer.
“We have set up stalls at Hitec City Shilparamam (in Hyderabad) to enable women to market the products they make. We are holding discussions with Amazon to sell the products made by women folks in the international market,” he said.
As children’s education changes the lives of parents, breakfast is being served to 28,000 students across 312 government schools, through the Akshaya Patra Foundation, in the Kodangal constituency, the CM said.
Reddy noted that plans are underway to connect Kodangala through railways soon.
