Naidu Unveils Comprehensive Plan to Transform Kuppam into Model Constituency

Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu said Kuppam would be developed into a model constituency.

The government plans to improve water supplies by connecting many small irrigation tanks.

A new reservoir is also planned at Beeruvanipalli.

Officials want families to use water carefully because rainfall and river flows are low this year.

Kuppam is also planned to become a cleaner, greener area using solar power and better waste management.

The P4 programme is supporting thousands of families and aims to reduce poverty.

New industries and skill-training programmes are intended to help local young people find jobs.

The government also announced projects for roads, schools, hospitals, transport and digital health records.
