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.
N Chandrababu Naidu laid foundation stones for Kuppam development works valued at ₹327 crore.
The government plans to interconnect more than 550 minor irrigation tanks and build a ₹45-crore reservoir at Beeruvanipalli.
Kuppam is being developed as a net-zero and poverty-free constituency, with solar rooftops, natural farming and the P4 programme.
The plan includes new industries, skill training, sanitation facilities, roads, offices, education infrastructure and a modern Rythu Bazaar.
Proposed connectivity improvements include a railway halt, highways, an alternative Bengaluru road, a broad-gauge line request and a future airport.
