The Telangana Famine Relief Fund Act, 1936

General19367 sections

The Telangana Famine Relief Fund Act of 1936 establishes and regulates a dedicated financial reserve managed by the state government to support disaster relief in Telangana. Applying to the entire state, this law ensures that funds are set aside specifically to assist local citizens suffering from famines, droughts, floods, and other natural disasters. It matters because it legally mandates the government to maintain a minimum baseline balance of sixty lakh rupees, using state revenues to cover any deficit, thereby guaranteeing an emergency financial safety net to protect vulnerable populations and fund preventive measures like protective irrigation works throughout the state.
