State govt working to bring one crore acres of barren land under irrigation


The Telangana Government is going to issue patta passbooks to about 72 lakh farmers on March 11. Addressing the inaugural of the CII Agritech South 2018 here on Friday, Pocharam Srinivas Reddy, Minister for Agriculture and Cooperation, said the State Government was working to bring one crore acres of barren land under irrigation. “We will provide enough water there to grow two crops a year,” he said.

He said the State Government had built additional warehousing capacity of 18 lakh tonnes in the last four years. Asking the farmers to go for organic farming and reduce usage of pesticides, he said there should be concerted efforts to ensure an income of Rs 50,000 an acre.

The Confederation of Indian Industry’s Southern Region and the State Government are organizing the three-day exhibition and two-day conference at Prof. Jayashankar Telangana State Agricultural University here.

Ramesh Datla, Chairman of CII’s National Committee on Water, said there was a need to focus on improving the income of farmers and value addition to the farm produce.
