The World Records Union acknowledged this achievement by awarding an official certificate and medal to the state’s Panchayati Raj and Rural Development Department. The record was set on August 23, and the award was presented by Christopher Taylor Craft, the Official Records Manager of the World Records Union, at an event in Hyderabad.
