Nellore turning into industrial hub, announces Minister Narayana

On India's 80th Independence Day, a minister named Dr Ponguru Narayana gave a speech in a town called Nellore.

Independence Day is a day when India celebrates becoming a free country.

The minister told people that Nellore is becoming an industrial hub, which means a place with many factories.

Factories are big buildings where things are made, and they give jobs to people.

He said the government has already built 56 big factories and plans to build many more.

A huge new project called KRIS City will be built between the big cities of Chennai and Bengaluru.

It will give jobs to lakhs of people — that means hundreds of thousands.

The minister also said farmers are getting fertiliser for their fields, money, and loans, even though there has been very little rain.

New schools, parks, roads, and drainage pipes are also being built in Nellore city.

The minister thinks all these changes will make Nellore grow into a strong industrial and export hub.
