The Andhra Pradesh Brahmin Corporation Chairman and former bureaucrat I.Y.R. Krishna Rao has appealed to the well-to-do Brahmins to reach out to the poor in the community.

At an awareness programme organised by the Tirupati Brahmana Samajam here on Sunday, he spoke about the ‘Sri Krishna Sudhama Dharmanidhi’ and ‘Akshaya Dharmanidhi’ schemes launched by the corporation for the benefit of the poor members of the community. Noted ophthalmologist R. Sudha Rani contributed Rs.5 lakh to the first scheme while MLC G. Srinivasulu and academic K. Rajyalakshmi contributed Rs.1 lakh and Rs.50,000 respectively under the latter. While announcing that the corporation had earmarked Rs. 65 crore to be distributed among 33,000 beneficiaries, Mr. Rao also indicated that plans were afoot to formulate a health insurance scheme for the community members. He said the corporation would extend all schemes as promised by the government.
