RDOs and Tahsildhars should be on alert and play an active role to make programmes successful. Informing that sanitation has improved in rural areas, he wanted to improve it further. People in rural areas have not been exposed to disease as sanitation conditions have improved a lot. Besides sanitation, construction of graveyards, rising nurseries, and plantation of saplings were the main objectives of the programme, he said.

In undivided Andhra Pradesh, people faced hardships for water and funds. Due to lack of facilities, Telangana people used to migrate to Dubai in search of employment. Though the river Godavari was flowing through the area, local people failed to get the water, he said.

“However, the situation has changed after the formation of Telangana State. Now, the State is ahead of others in all aspects and is in a position to provide food to the entire country by producing 1.30 crore tonnes of paddy,” he said. Zilla Parishad Chairperson Kanumalla Vijaya, Karimnagar Mayor Y Sunil Rao, MLC Bhanu Prasad Rao, MLAs Sunke Ravishankar and Rasamai Balkishan, Collector K Shashanka, Commissioner Valluru Kranthi and others also spoke.
