State to revive defunct lift irrigation schemes, says Rama Naidu

The Water Resources Minister of the state, Nimmala Rama Naidu, announced plans to revive defunct lift irrigation schemes to ensure water security for 820,000 acres of land. He stated that approximately 400,000 acres have been affected due to the non-functioning of these schemes under the previous YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) government. Currently, only 166 out of 1,023 lift irrigation schemes are operational. Rama Naidu highlighted the initiation of restoration work on the Vedadri-Kanchala Lift Irrigation Scheme, which is expected to cost ₹15 crore, and mentioned that tenders totaling ₹4,500 crore are being invited for repairs and maintenance of such schemes. He criticized the former administration for neglecting the irrigation sector, leaving behind a debt of ₹18,000 crore between 2019 and 2024, and for damaging infrastructure like the Polavaram diaphragm wall and the Annamayya project.
