Members of Parliament from Raichur and Kalaburagi Raja Amareshwar Naik and Umesh Jadhav, respectively, have directed the officials of various government departments, primarily the Agriculture and Horticulture departments, to create awareness among farmers about Central government-sponsored schemes to achieve the target fixed and extend the benefits effectively to the beneficiaries and also utilise the released grant in a proper manner to get more funds for development works in the future.
Both the MPs were addressing a gathering at the District Development Coordination and Monitoring Committee (DISHA) review meeting in Yadgir on Tuesday.
Mr. Naik, who presided over the meeting, said that out of the six taluks in Yadgir district, Shahapur and Wadagera taluks have been declared as severly drought-hit and the remaining four taluks of Yadgir, Shahapur, Hunsagi and Gurmitkal, have been declared as moderately drought-hit.
