Elaborate arrangements in place for record rabi paddy procurement: Uttam Kumar Reddy

Nizamabad (Telangana), Apr 21 (UNI) Telangana Civil Supplies and Irrigation Minister Capt N Uttam Kumar Reddy announced that the Telangana government is fully prepared for a record-breaking Rabi 2024–25 paddy procurement.
Addressing the Telangana Rythu Mahotsavam in Nizamabad, he said all infrastructure — including 8,329 procurement centres, gunny bags, tarpaulins, dryers, weighing machines, and trained staff — is in place.
He stated Telangana aims to procure 70.13 lakh metric tonnes (LMT) this Rabi, taking the state’s total annual paddy production to 281 LMT — the highest in the country. Transparent procedures, quality checks, mobile dryers, and a three-tier grievance redressal system have been implemented to ensure farmer convenience.
Highlighting a revolutionary food security programme, he said Telangana is the only state to provide free fine rice through the PDS to 84 per cent of its population.
Criticising the previous government’s failure to deliver irrigation despite spending Rs 1.81 lakh crore, he assured that the Congress government is result-oriented and committed to reviving projects like Pranahita-Chevella and Nizam Sagar.
The event also saw participation from Agriculture Minister Tummala Nageswara Rao, TPCC President Mahesh Kumar Goud, and other senior leaders, who reaffirmed support for farmers and government initiatives.
