The estimated paddy production in Rabi agriculture season is a record 57 lakh tonnes and the maize production is likely to be 68 lakh tonnes. This is because of the efficient water management and the 24X7 power supply to tillers. With the flow of water from Kaleshwaram Lift Irrigation Scheme, the paddy production will further increase making Telangana the rice bowl of the country. The cultivable areas under Nagarjuna Sagar Project, Sriram Sagar, Singur, Nizam Sagar, Ghanapur anicut and other projects increased considerably in Rabi (Yasangi) season, as the irrigation facilities were improved under these projects by the State government.
