What happens if telangana

If Telangana is formed, what should be the priority of the state? In my opinion, agriculture and revival of water bodies. These should be given top priority. The moment you revive tanks and agriculture, then automatically small businesses will come up and employment opportunities will increase and along with that new pattern of industrialisation should be tapped. Telangana has enormous scope for textile industry. It can give employment to hundreds of thousands of people.

Lack of water and irrigation facilities is one of the main issues highlighted by the movement. Telangana had a very efficient system of tank irrigation. It has been destroyed over the years due to neglect. Today surface water is not properly stored or utilised. People are forced to depend heavily on borewells.

It has destroyed the top soil leading to less moisture. You cannot grow millets traditionally grown in the region. I think the only way to overcome this issue is to restore water bodies.

I am referring to tanks. The irrigation models formed by the British for the plains became models for all regions. Unfortunately, these kind of irrigation projects do not work for Telangana, which is an elevated region. What kind of irrigation system does Telangana need? It needs to have only medium and minor irrigation projects. Tanks should be restored and connected to creeks and rivers. Major irrigation projects are not feasible. But the state government is going ahead with its mega Jalayagnam irrigation projects?

Jalayagnam is essentially a contractor-driven programme. Focus is more on the interests of the contractors, not providing proper irrigation facilities to the farmers. It follows EPR, engineering, procurement and construct. Engineers will design the projects according to the interests of the contractors. They will procure the material and construct the project. Projects are designed in a way that they get more money from the government.

There is no benchmark. Contractor-bureaucrat-politician nexus is making huge profits. Crops in Telangana region have been severely affected by the present reduction in power generation due to the general strike? Farmers say , hectares of crops have been affected. Now they are getting only three to four hours. The government could have handled the crisis by tapping hydel and gas projects. But it is trying to put the blame on us to malign the image of Telangana struggle. Farmers are aware of the tactics of the government.

After the formation of Telangana, will there be a possibility that the real issues will get ignored? There is widespread involvement of people in the agitation. Market Watch. ET NOW. Brand Solutions.
