Vizianagaram Zilla Parishad chairperson Majji Srinivasa Rao on Thursday said that Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy was keen on improving irrigation facilities in the backward district by allocating more funds .
Addressing the media, he said the State government had sanctioned ₹.120 crore for the completion of distributory network and pending works of Thotapalli project. We requested the government to extend metro rail project to Vizianagaram town, he said.
He said that the government was giving equal priority for both welfare and development activities in the district. “Around ₹750 crore has been sanctioned for the renovation of hospitals under Nadu-Nedu programs. Schools will also have a modern look with Nadu-Nedu flagship programme,” he said.
In 2021, five women from Mayithara, four of them MGNREGA (Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act) workers, found a common ground in their desire to create a sustainable livelihood by growing vegetables. Rajamma M., Mary Varkey, Valsala L., Elisho S., and Praseeda Sumesh, aged between 70 and 39, pooled their savings, rented a piece of land and began their collective vegetable farming journey under the Deepam Krishi group.
