"Already the state government has sanctioned Rs 100 Crore for the Brahmin Welfare Fund and a land is allotted for the construction of the Brahmin Sadan. A Society should be formed to utilise the funds and Sadan for the welfare and other dharmic activities of Brahmins.

Rao further saud that Brahmin Sadan should be utilised to the maximum benefit and there should be facilities for accommodation for the Brahmins coming from outside at the proposed Sadan.
