The officials were asked to be ready with the necessary action plan for the implementation of the three guarantees.

The CM instructed the officials to make arrangements to implement two of these guarantees immediately.

Inquiring about the financial requirement for the implementation of each guarantee and the details of the number of beneficiaries under each scheme, he advised the state Finance Department to allocate necessary funds for them in the budget.
