The Big Rural Push

Bracing for the assembly polls slated in May 2019, chief minister K. Chandrashekar Rao is pushing to complete infrastructure projects in the state. Reflecting his sense of urgency, cabinet subcommittees have been tasked to expedite development projects, particularly initiatives to benefit the rural population. Declaring intent, information technology minister K.T. Rama Rao and irrigation and legislative affairs minister T. Harish Rao have begun touring the districts to supervise these projects.

In another big push, the state’s power utility is working overtime to ensure 24x7 electricity supply for agriculture. The move, packaged with appeals to farmers to do away with automatic starters on pump sets in order to end wastage, will cost the government an estimated Rs 5,394 crore in a year.
