Social audit of schemes for Backward Classes on the anvil
Minister for Devaswoms, SC, ST, and Backward Classes Welfare K. Radhakrishnan has said the government is mulling a proposal to lease out unutilised land held by cash-strapped Devaswom boards to generate revenue. While Indian Overseas Bank has offered to take such land on lease and develop infrastructure, no decision has been taken yet on the proposal, he said. Speaking to mediapersons at a meet-the-press programme here on Tuesday, Mr. Radhakrishnan said several assets held by the Devaswoms were lying neglected at a time when their revenue was drying up, with the boards relying on the government to meet expenses.
