Chief Minister Sri Revanth Reddy participated in ‘Veeranari’ Chakali Ilamma’s death anniversary program at Ravindra Bharathi on Tuesday.

Government decided to name the Women’s University after Chakali Ilamma. It is also decided to appoint Ilamma’s granddaughter Shweta as the member of the State Women’s Commission. Hoping to involve Ilamma’s family as partners in the government. We will pursue Ilamma’s fighting spirit.

Ilamma fought against the feudal rulers for land rights of the poor. With the inspiration of Ilamma, former PM Indira Gandhi introduced land reforms in the country.

Possessing land is the self esteem of the poor. It was the reason Indira Gandhi distributed lakhs of acres of land to the poor.

The previous rulers conspired to grab the poor lands in the guise of Dharani. With the inspiration of Ilamma, the People’s Government formed in the state to protect the lands owned by the poorer sections.
