Telugu Desam Party (TDP) candidate for Chittoor Lok Sabha constituency, Daggumalla Prasada Rao, a former Indian Revenue Service (IRS) officer, said that Chittoor district had a great potential to become a thriving hub for micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs).
Speaking to the media here on Sunday, Mr. Prasada Rao observed that the tail-end areas of Chittoor that border with Karnataka and Tamil Nadu could offer MSMEs the opportunity to specialise in solar power, manufacture of ancillary parts for the defence sector, horticulture and dairy development.
Mr. Prasada Rao mentioned that having worked in the revenue and finance departments, he had a keen interest in envisioning Chittoor district’s integrated development. He also noted that the MPs typically concentrate on national issues rather than local ones, but there are several Central government-sponsored and funded schemes that could be beneficial for districts.
