Health Minister Eatala Rajender and BC Welfare Minister Gangula Kamalakar conducted a meeting with irrigation department officials and ordered them to prepare an action plan for filling all lakes and tanks present in the district. There are about six lakh farmers in the united Karimnagar district, which are dependent on cultivation of various kinds of crops in about 2.45 lakh acres. With the release and supply of Kaleshwaram water, this year the cultivable land was increased in the district and the officials are expecting further increase of cultivated land in the coming up days. The agricultural officials said that the Chief Minister directed them to prepare the farmers for cultivating fine rice and pulses (especially red gram) in the district and to increase the cultivable lands by encouraging the farmers.
They also informed that there is a probability of establishment of food processing units in the district for the convenience of the farming sector.
With an intention to make the farmer as a king, Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao had introduced several schemes pertaining to agricultural sector from Karimnagar district.
