He has said the government will shortly release scholarships of students. The Minister was speaking at P. Konavalasa in Pachipenta mandal after participating in a number of inaugural and stone-laying functions in Salur Assembly constituency on Sunday.

Konavalasa in Pachipenta mandal, a water scheme at Kurmarajupeta, CEMONC centre at Salur Hospital and laid the foundation stone for Dandigaon-Pudi Road and sanctioned a comprehensive drinking water scheme for Pachipenta mandal.
Following a complaint from NREGS beneficiaries at Pachipenta, he asked Joint Collector H. Arun Kumar, who was present, to inquire into the underpayment of wages to workers engaged under the scheme and submit report within 20days.
Stressing on the need to create awareness among the downtrodden on literacy, Mr. Satyanarayana said that late chief minister Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy had taken up a number of decisions to increase the literacy rate and the present Chief Minister too had been working in that direction.
