Agriculture Minister S. Niranjan Reddy said that agriculture is the future of the nation and Telangana has been guiding the nation in this aspect.
Addressing a gathering after inaugurating three-day agri-expo at Acharya Jayashankar Agriculture University on Wednesday, Mr. Niranjan Reddy said that Telangana has progressed well in the last eight years and still there was a long way to go.
“We have constructed projects that would provide irrigation for about one crore acres. Similarly, we are the only one offering Rytu Bandhu to farmers and round the clock power supply. In the same way Rytu Beema is being implemented. Farming sector has 21 per cent share in the GSDP,” said Mr. Niranjan Reddy adding that the nation will move forward only when the villages and states progress.
