Over the past ten years, the State government has been implementing a number of outreach activities, including supplemental nutrition, health check-ups, immunizations, referral services, empowerment programs, and welfare programs, for the holistic development of women and children. "Mahila Sankshema Dinotsavam" was organized as part of the State's Formation Day celebrations on tuesday to highlight the numerous schemes and activities the government has implemented over the past ten years for the welfare of women and children.
Satyavathi Rathod, the minister for women's and children's welfare, introduced the "Kishoramrutham," "Arogya lakshmi Spices," and "Condiments" packets during a ceremony held at ravindra Bharathi as part of the festivities. On this occasion, the top female students from the women and Child Institutes were honored. Since Telangana's creation, the state government has taken a number of actions to advance women's rights in the region. Banks tripled the amount of money they provided to Self Help Groups. SHG loans totaled Rs 3,738.67 crore in 2014–15, and by 2022–23, they had reached Rs 12,722.14 crore. To keep track of the financial transactions of the SHG participants and the group's village-level organizations, mobile accounting software has also been developed.

In order to offer pregnant women, nursing mothers, and children under the age of six with one nutritious meal each day at the Anganwadi centre, the government launched the Arogya lakshmi scheme. The Arogya lakshmi scheme has assisted about 36,26,603 women in the past nine years. The Arogya lakshmi app was developed to periodically check on pregnant and nursing women's attendance and health.

The government provides nutrition to children aged 7 months to 3 years old as part of the "Balamrutham" project in an effort to promote their health and general wellbeing. Three to five times a day, children are given wheat, gramme, milk powder, oil, and sugar. In a similar vein, the government has also launched a programme named "Balamrutham Plus" to combat severe child malnutrition. Children who are registered with Anganwadi Centres are provided Balamrutham Plus as part of the programme, and their health is routinely checked.

In order to safeguard and transport female passengers, the government also developed 16 She Taxis. The government invested Rs. 49 lakh to open a motor driving school for women, which is a first for the nation. In addition, Bal Rakshak trucks have been launched in 33 districts to carry out rescue operations to end child labour.
