The Interest of the farmers will be protected said K Chandrasekhar Rao the Chief Minister of Telangana. He was addressing the people of the state on the eve of State formation day here at the Public Gardens. He said “Towards fulfilling the dreams of farmers, we have taken up the challenge and commenced construction of major irrigation projects simultaneously on River Godavari and River Krishna to provide water for irrigation to over a crore of acres. In the first phase, the pending projects were completed on the fast track and on a war footing. We were able to provide water for ten lakhs of acres in the drought-prone Mahbubnagar district alone.
Half of Palamoor could be converted as green fields blossoming with bountiful crops. Even in mid-summer, the scenario unveiled was that of totally filled-up tanks brimming with overflowing with water. For making optimum utilization of River Krishna water, the construction of Palamoor-Rangareddy lift irrigation scheme project has been in progress, with which, Mahbubnagar, Wanaparti, Gadwal, Nagarkurnool, Narayan pet, Rangareddy, Vikarabad districts as well as Munugod and Devarakonda areas of Nalgonda district will become fertile.
Kaleshwaram Lift Irrigation Project which is under construction on River Godavari will change the face of Telangana. Kaleshwaram is going to create history in the world, as the largest lift irrigation project built in the fastest mode. Constructing such a large project in such a short period of two and a half years is proof of our government’s efficiency and technical excellence. “
