Telangana Minister Urges Micro-Irrigation Support for Farmers
The Agriculture Minister of Telangana had a meeting with companies that provide micro-irrigation systems.
He asked them to help farmers during the El Niño period by setting up more drip irrigation systems.
These systems use less water and electricity and help farmers grow more crops.
The minister also said the government would pay the companies for their work and would check how well they are doing.
He hopes Telangana can be a model for the rest of the country in using these irrigation systems.
