Bommai also announced Rs 250 crore to install toilets in all government schools and colleges to ensure a clean and hygienic atmosphere. Noting that many new schemes were announced last year to mark the 75th year of the country’s independence and to celebrate the "Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav," the Chief Minister said he is pleased that the schemes were completed as per the deadline.

He emphasised the 3Es mantra for the benefit of schedule caste, schedule tribe, underprivileged classes, women, and minorities, he claimed that the government had adopted the motto of the three E’s: employment, education, and empowerment.

He said that landless agricultural labourers will also be eligible for the ‘Raitha Vidya Nidhi’, which is available to children of farmers.
