Alleging that the Integrated Tribal Development Agencies (ITDAs) in the State were starved of funds during the previous BRS government, Deputy Chief Minister Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka said that the Congress government will revive the past glory of the ITDAs in the Indiramma Rajyam.
The ITDAs will be revitalised and the Indira Jala Prabha (IJP) scheme will be revived to ensure the assured source of irrigation and sustainable livelihood for tribal farmers, the Deputy Chief Minister said.
Addressing the ITDA-Bhadrachalam governing body meeting in the temple town on Sunday, he said that agriculture pump set connections were provided to tribal farmers on subsidy under the IJP during the then Congress government.
