"prlis"

Before Telangana formation, the Congress ruled erstwhile Andhra Pradesh for over five decades, but failed to complete irrigation projects to provide even 2-3 TMC in the Palamuru region, said BRS leaders

Centre would be extending 60 per cent of the project cost, while the State has to meet the rest as its share

Speaking on the thanksgiving motion to the Governor's address at the assembly on Saturday, Maheshwar Reddy said the Congress government should find means to implement all the promises it made to the people of Telangana.

All that the Palamuru Rangareddy Lift Irrigation Scheme (PRLIS) needs finally is the appraisal of its detailed project report (DPR) by the Central Water Commission.

The progress of works on the drinking water component of the project has become the envy of parties that challenged the project in the courts of law and the Krishna Water Disputes Tribunal.

The impact on the environment was minimized by reducing the submergence to only three village and eight tandas. Land acquisition need was brought down from 85000 acres to 27,000 acres by redesigning the projects.

After Telangana government came to power, 24 hours free power was being supplied to the farmers, said Srinivas Goud

Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao explained the impact of the State government's efforts that propelled the growth of the State on multiple fronts. He stated that Telangana made a remarkable progress across various sectors in shortest time.

Officials of PRLIS embarked on the task of conducting final tests for the dry run of six more high powered pumps of 145MW each in both Stage II and Stage III of the prestigious project

The project taken up to ensure food security by meeting the drinking water and the irrigation needs of one of the most backward pockets of the country had to go through an arduous process involved in fierce legal wrangles

Despite all efforts from the State, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the so-called 'Vishwaguru', did not pay heed to the State’s demand to help determine its share of river waters, KCR said.

The Palamuru Rangareddy Lift Irrigation is to tackle the extreme drought-prone conditions in Mahabubnagar, Ranga Reddy, Narayanpet, Vikarabad, Nagarkurnool, and Nalgonda districts by irrigating over 4.97 lakh hectares of land, equivalent to about 12.30 lakh acres.

Fulfilling the long cherished dream of people of the water-starved region, CM KCR switched on one of the high powered 145-MW pumping systems, the first of its kind ever used in the world, commencing its crucial wet run

The Palamuru Ranga Reddy Lift Irrigation Scheme (PRLIS) would help the Mahatma Gandhi Kalwakurthy Lift Irrigation Scheme overcome its shortcomings.

The second stage of impounding will be completed by Thursday as part of the preparatory exercise taken up for the all-important wet run of the mega pump house (145 MW X9) at Narlapur

This report delves into the struggles faced by the region, the perseverance of its people, and the visionary leadership of K Chandrasekhar Rao that led to this monumental achievement.

The redesigning of PRLIS now enables Telangana to lift around 2.4 TMC of water per day from the Krishna River, a significant leap from the previous proposal of 0.5 TMC per day in erstwhile Andhra Pradesh

Ever since Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao took over the reins of the State administration, he focused on the water-starved southern region and started addressing the needs of the region adopting a multi-pronged strategy

The reservoirs were built using the hillside as their natural walls to hold the water in a more secure way.

As Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao will be inaugurating the drinking water component of the Palamuru Rangareddy Lift Scheme on September 16, works on the multi-stage project have gathered pace.
