To support farmers, the government established 10,778 “Rythu Bharosa Kendralu” which act as comprehensive hubs for all agricultural needs, right from supply of seeds to crop sale, ensuring that our farmers receive all the necessary support, Nazeer said.
In the field of education, the state government is nurturing global citizens through English medium and digital teaching methods which is part of the “Nadu-Nedu” initiative, in modernisation and provisioning adequate infrastructure in 56,703 institutions with an investment of Rs 17,805 crore.
