Let Rayalaseema be known for development, not drought, says Pawan Kalyan
Deputy Chief Minister Lokesh announced a three‑phase horticulture hub initiative aimed at transforming Rayalaseema from a drought‑prone area into a development hub. The plan will support roughly 9.6 lakh farmers, create 9 lakh acres of new irrigation (ayacut) and stabilize an additional 4.3 lakh acres. The concept originated during Lokesh’s Yuva Galam Padayatra and farmer meetings.
