Hyderabad: Telangana Revenue Minister Ponguleti Srinivas Reddy on Saturday, October 24, announced that the government will be undertaking a Rs 150 crore project in three mandals to provide a permanent solution to drought.
Considering factors such as areas historically affected by drought, districts with high dependence on rainfed agriculture, socially and economically backward regions, and the livelihoods of farmer families, the government has selected Midjil mandal in Mahbubnagar district, Uppunuthala mandal in Nagarkurnool district, and Makthal mandal in Narayanapet district for the project.
As part of the project, Gram Sabhas will be conducted in every village to gather people’s opinions, action plans will be formulated, and committees will be formed with local public representatives to coordinate the work.
Priority will be given to efficient water utilisation and adoption of agricultural practices that can withstand drought conditions.
Employment opportunities in rural areas will be enhanced and needs of all sections, including women, youth, and families dependent on traditional occupations, will be taken into consideration.
Through the project, the government aims to reduce the impact of drought, improve the living standards of people, and pave the way for long-term development in rural areas.
