Nalgonda: Energy Minister G Jagadish Reddy on Friday said that villages were witnessing comprehensive development in the last seven years in Telangana that was more than achieved in the last 70 years.
Speaking at general body meeting of Zilla Parishad of Nalgonda, Jagadish Reddy said that the Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao has focused on development of rural areas and took up several schemes in this regard. Due to the initiatives of the Chief Minister, the facilities and infrastructure have been developed in the villages on par with the towns. Every village has a tractor, palle pakruthi vanam, a dumping yard and safe drinking water supply in the state, he pointed out. The measures taken up by the state government have revived earlier glory to agriculture sector, which led to strengthening of rural economy, he added.
Reminding that several states have cut down their budgets due to COVID-19 pandemic, he said that the TRS has implemented welfare schemes and development programmes as usual during pandemic time also. The measures taken up by the state government have minimized the impact of COVID pandemic on the people. When other states reported negative growth rate during pandemic, Telangana state only achieved positive growth rate in the country. The GSDP of our state was far better than remaining states in the country, he added.
He said that the state was facing new problems due to change in policies and priorities of the Centre. Even though the Centre has stopped financial assistance for model schools, the State government has setup hundreds of residential schools to ensure quality education to the poor students also. No mandal was remained without a residential school in the state.
He said that elected representatives of local bodies including ZPTCs, MPPs and MPTCs should cooperate with the officials in implementation of welfare schemes and development programmes irrespective of politics.
