Gudihatnoor (ADILABAD), June 2: Family of S. Parashuram, 47, of Gudihatnoor in the district, has benefited most in the state out of the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (NREGS).
His extended family was recognised as an NREGS family in the state because 11 members, including degree and Intermediate students, are working under the scheme and have earned good wages.
