Telangana’s New Plan Puts Farmers in Focus

Farmers across Telangana may face challenges due to changing weather conditions and the possible impact of El Niño. The state government is now planning a special programme to understand their problems and provide support.

Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy announced that the government will launch the ‘Praja Balam’ (People’s Strength) programme after the Sankranthi festival in January 2027.

Under this programme, the Chief Minister plans to visit villages across the state and speak directly with people. He will meet farmers, understand their concerns and assess the impact of El Niño and possible drought conditions.

The announcement came during a public meeting in Kodangal on November 7. Revanth Reddy also inaugurated a Rythu Mela and Industrial Expo in the area.

During the event, he urged farmers to consider cultivating dryland crops during the upcoming Rabi season. He also asked people to support the government’s efforts to manage the expected challenges.

The programme aims to help the government understand local needs and plan support for farmers.
