KCR will become Telangana Chief Minister for 3rd time and score a Hattrick
In the 75 years after India's independence, he was the only chief minister to offer investment subsidies to farmers.The minister spoke on friday after laying the foundation for an oil factory in Sankireddypalli and mentioned that farmers were also receiving 24 hours of free power and that the Rythu Bima programme also offered Rs. 5 lakh in insurance coverage.
Former palamuru was formerly well-known for its workforce and the emigration of people in pursuit of work. According to him, palamuru was seeing boom in the agricultural sector, from migration to significant irrigation. As the palamuru Rangareddy Lift Irrigation Scheme was introduced by the chief minister K Chandrashekhar Rao, Rama Rao declared, "I am confident that palamuru farmers will surpass punjab farmers in paddy production." The chief minister was pushing crop diversification as a way to increase farming's productivity and income. According to him, this would inspire future generations to engage in large cultivation.
The barren grounds in what was once palamuru were being converted into fruitful land by the telangana government, which was taking its fair share of water from the River Krishna. According to him, the State's paddy output has climbed from 68 lakh metric tonnes before Telangana's establishment to 3.5 crore metric tonnes as of today.
In 2018, a request to buy parboiled rice was made to the BJP-led Union government as output grew, but it was rejected. piyush Goyal, who was the minister of civil supplies for the Union at the time, questioned how telangana managed to attain such high production. The Union minister had even been asked to visit the State and see for himself the enhanced paddy yield, according to the ministers team led by Agriculture minister S. Niranjan Reddy.
The State government was heavily encouraging oil palm development as part of its agricultural diversification programmes. According to him, the nation imported edible oils from malaysia and indonesia and was aiming to make telangana the leader in the production of edibles by cultivating oil palm on 20 lakh acres in five years. He added that over the previous 30 years, previous governments had only been able to do this on 30,000 acres. The planting of oil palm on 20 lakh acres was the goal of the telangana administration.
A Venkateshwar Reddy, the Deverkadra mla and Agriculture minister, was leading from the front by heavily planting oil palm in his farms. According to him, the State government was offering farmers a subsidy component of Rs. 50,000 per acre for growing oil palm, and the government had committed roughly Rs. 2500 crore to this project.
In addition to the two plants already present in the former Khammam, the State administration had built 14 more factories to facilitate the hassle-free purchase of palm oil. After four years, farmers from Mahabubnagar, Nagarkurnool, and wanaparthy can sell the oil palm products they generate to a local private enterprise. Farmers can even start growing intermediate crops at this time, he said.
