The Heritage Department in Telangana is sending a team to Mancherial to look for dinosaur eggs.
They have already found some dinosaur bones and footprints in a place called Yamanpalli.
The team includes experts like P. Nagaraju and Mallu Naik.
If they find any dinosaur eggs, they will put them in a special museum called the State Museum.
This will help students and scientists learn more about dinosaurs and ancient times.
