Padi Kaushik Reddy welcomed into TRS
Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao rubbished the criticism that Dalit Bandhu scheme had been introduced with an eye on elections and said the scheme would bring out the Scheduled Castes from poverty for ever. He was speaking after welcoming Padi Kaushik Reddy into the party along with his supporters at the Telangana Bhavan on Wednesday. Mr. Reddy and his supporters joined the TRS after he left the Congress recently. The Chief Minister said people who were criticising the Dalit Bandhu scheme had similar opinion on the formation of a separate Telangana and also the Rythu Bandhu scheme. But both were realities now. Elections were two years away and this scheme was not aimed at benefiting in the elections, he said.

Under the NBS, newborns are screened for communication disorders before they are discharged from the hospital.

The screening has been helping in early intervention for those identified with the disorders, as any delay in the identification poses risk and affects successful management of children with hearing loss, according to AIISH.
