Hyderabad: Just ahead of the Kharif season, farmers across Telangana are in for a boost as the State government gears up to distribute seeds starting Monday, June 2. The move, announced on Sunday by Agriculture Minister Tummala Nageswara Rao, comes as part of the State Formation Day celebrations.
Around 40,000 farmers in nearly 11,000 villages are set to benefit, with seeds for five different crops earmarked for distribution. “Ministers and local representatives will personally oversee the process in their respective areas to make sure everything goes smoothly,” the minister said.
