Finance Minister Harish Rao and Agriculture Minister Niranjan Reddy called upon farmers to go for alternative crops and make Siddipet district a role model.
“Farmers faced several problems before the formation of Telangana without water, and lack of support from the State Government. Now, they are getting proper irrigation facilities, round-the-clock power supply, ₹10,000 as Rythu Bandhu, and quality seeds and fertilizers. As a result, paddy production has multiplied,” said Mr. Rao.
