The minister said farmers were able to get adequate supply of seeds and fertilisers following formation of Telangana. He said that the government took steps to ensure sufficient inputs to the agriculture sector, avoiding inconvenience to the farmers. He stated that irrigation facilities were improved like never before and power was being provided to agriculture needs without interruptions.

He later formally inaugurated a colony of 50 double-bedroom houses built at Dyangapur village in Nirmal Rural mandal, built at an estimated cost of Rs 2.52 crore. The idea of the Chief Minister behind implementing the housing scheme was to help the poor live with self-respect. Though it was an expensive scheme, Rao was committed to providing homes to the homeless, he added.

The minister then laid the foundation stone to works relating to renovation of the ancient Sri Mahalaxmi temple in Nirmal town. He said that the shrine would be the finest gem in the crown of Nirmal district. He said that the temple would be renovated spending Rs 3 crore and using completely rock structures.

Collector Musharraf Ali Faruqui, Municipal chairperson Gandrath Eshwar, former DCCB Chairman Ramkishan Reddy, Library Corporation Chairman Erravothu Rajender and many others were present.
