Telangana - Kaleshwaram recognised as an enduring symbol of engineering progress by ASCE
The American Association of Civil Engineers (ASCE), the oldest engineering association in the united states of America and one that was formed in 1852, has honored Telangana's kaleshwaram Lift Irrigation Project as a lasting emblem of technical development and collaboration. At the World Environmental and Water Resources congress in Nevada, US, on Monday, IT and industries minister KT Rama Rao received the plaque from the ASCE awarding the project with this distinguished accolade.
Speaking at the occasion afterward, minister Rama Rao described Telangana's path as one of resiliency and change, of ground-breaking engineering accomplishments, and the odyssey of one man's purpose-driven leadership. He claimed that Mission Bhagiratha and the kaleshwaram lift irrigation project were not only finished in record time but also with the highest efficiency and financial effectiveness.
In the past nine years, telangana has accomplished extraordinary feats, boasting the highest per capita income in the nation, moving up from 24th place to second place in rice production, and being the only indian state to offer its residents free drinking water.
"K Chandrashekhar Rao had a clear goal of reforming telangana and bettering the lives of its people when he spearheaded the telangana Statehood movement and became the first elected chief minister of the State. He turned his idea into reality via strategic preparation, creative thought, and precise execution. The fact that the kaleshwaram project was finished quickly is evidence of his extraordinary leadership and his capacity to bring lofty goals into reality, according to Rama Rao.

The kaleshwaram Multi-Stage Lift Irrigation Project was the first of its type in india and the largest in the world, according to Rama Rao, who was telling the narrative of Kaleshwaram. The chief minister assumed the duties of both chief architect and engineer.
With an expenditure of US$11 billion, the kaleshwaram project, which raises river water from 90 metres to 618 metres above sea level, was finished in a record-breaking four years.
