I am happy to announce to the people of Telangana through this august house that Telangana has created a new record of supplying quality power at free of cost for 24 hours to the Agriculture sector.
For the first time in the history, 24 hours power is being supplied from yesterday night on an experimental basis to 23 Lakh agriculture pump sets in the state. Nowhere in the country, it had happened before.
This is good news to the farmers who faced power problems for decades together. The Power Utilities of the State will closely monitor the transmission and distribution network for 5 to 6 days and supply 24 hours uninterrupted power on a permanent basis from coming Rabi season. In Telangana state, 25% of power is being utilised by Agriculture pump sets.
After formation of State within few days, 9 hours quality power is being supplied to all the pump sets. 24 hours power supply is being given to the farmers of old Medak, Karimnagar and Nalgonda districts from July 2017.
