The ‘Indira Soura Giri Jala Vikasam’ scheme was launched by Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy in Macharam village, located in Nagarkurnool district. The initiative aims to support tribal farmers by providing them with free solar-powered pumps ranging from 5 to 7.5 horsepower to help irrigate horticultural crops. This move is part of a larger commitment to sustainable agriculture and tribal welfare. The Telangana government has allocated Rs 12,600 crore for the scheme's implementation over the next four years, emphasizing its long-term vision for rural development, clean energy adoption, and agricultural productivity enhancement in tribal regions.
