Bhupalpally: Efforts are being made to create job opportunities for local youth, according to Minister for IT and Industries, Duddilla Sridhar Babu. He mentioned this during the foundation stone laying ceremony for the Industrial Park near Mylaram in Jayashankar Bhupalpally district on Saturday. The event also saw the participation of Revenue Minister Ponguleti Srinivas Reddy and Panchayat Raj and Rural Development Minister Seethakka. Sridhar Babu stated that the government plans to set up at least 200 industries in the region, which is rich in natural resources.
Despite having two barrages as part of the Kaleshwaram Lift Irrigation Project, Sridhar Babu noted that not a single acre in Bhupalpally and Manthani constituencies has benefitted from the Godavari waters. He criticized the previous government’s unscientific methods, citing the partial collapse of the Medigadda barrage as an example of poor planning by the BRS government.
Revenue Minister Ponguleti Srinivas Reddy emphasized that the government is focused on both development and welfare. He highlighted that the Congress Government plans to provide 4.50 lakh Indiramma Houses to the poor, contrasting this with the KCR Government, which has provided only 1.50 lakh houses in a decade.
Ponguleti also mentioned that the government is working on a new law to improve land registration and ownership, aiming to replace the Dharani portal with the Bhumata portal. Minister Seethakka added that the upcoming industrial park would greatly benefit unemployed youth and assured efforts to establish another industrial park at Mulugu.
Seethakka praised Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy for the crop loan waiver, which provided relief to debt-ridden farmers. She also highlighted the Young India Skill University, which aims to empower the local workforce through high-level skill development, fostering innovation, and driving growth.
Additionally, the Congress government has released the Job Calendar, detailing the schedule for issuing notifications and conducting recruitment exams. Later in the day, Ponguleti held a review meeting on welfare and development activities in the district.
The event was attended by Bhupalpally MLA Gandra Satyanarayana Rao, Warangal MP K Kavya, Telangana Industrial Infrastructure Corporation Limited (TGIIC) chairperson Nirmala Jagga Reddy, district collector Rahul Sharma, and superintendent of police Kiran Kare, among others.
