Nimmakuru, native village of Telugu Desam Party (TDP) founder president N.T. Rama Rao, is apparently on the fast track of development.

With TDP general secretary and Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu’ son Nara Lokesh adopting the village, it is set to march ahead of others.

The Panchayat Raj and Rural Development department has sanctioned ₹4 crore for taking up developmental works and providing better amenities.
