Addressing on the occasion, the Minister said the State government was implementing different programmes for the welfare of the poor, especially through the new ration cards, each person in family could get six kilos of rice. He also said that those, who did not get ration cards for any reason can re-apply and get ration cards.

“TRS government is providing free electricity to farmers, besides extending Rythu Bandhu and Rythu Bima but in the past farmers had to fight for power supply” said Srinivas Goud. Construction of check dams will serve many purposes. Apart from increasing the groundwater table, they will also facilitate in storing rain water and ensuring supply of water to the farming sector, the Minister said.

Due to abundant rains this year, the crop cultivation has increased in the district. Once the Palamuru-Rangareddy Lift scheme comes up, more acreage will come under cultivation in the district, he informed. Apart from ensuring the villages on the development track, the Minister wanted the Sarpanches to plant saplings in each village to increase green cover and facilitate sanitation.

He said survival of plants should be accorded top priority and check dams should be built to use rain water effectively. Devarakadra MLA Aala Venkateshwar Reddy also spoke on the occasion. After inaugurating the check dam, the Minister along with local elected public representatives, swam in the check dam.
