Telangana is facing concerns over changing weather conditions and their impact on agriculture. The State government is now seeking support from the Centre to address the situation.
Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy and Irrigation Minister N. Uttam Kumar Reddy will meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi on November 15.
During the meeting, they will seek financial assistance to tackle the effects of El Niño, poor rainfall and drought conditions. They will explain how these conditions are affecting farmers, agriculture and rural livelihoods.
The State government has already requested ₹20,000 crore in financial assistance to address the challenges.
The discussions are expected to focus on cooperation between the Centre and the State. The government also wants to strengthen drought-management measures and provide timely support to affected farmers.
