He said the implementation of the Anna Bhagya and the Ksheera Bhagya scheme would help eradicate it in the State.
Both schemes were implemented in spite of several administrative obstacles. He assured the people the programmes would continue without any problems.
Irrigation
He said the State had experienced uneven rainfall with some parts receiving more rain than others. The projects that would ensure the State’s share of water from the Cauvery and the Krishna are pending in court. Now that the cases are in the final stage, government would plan and use the waters judiciously.
