The stage is all set for the inauguration of Kaleshwaram -- billed as the world's largest multi-stage lift irrigation project -- across the Goadavari river in Telangana.
Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao will formally inaugurate the Kaleshwaram Lift Irrigation Project (KLIP) on Friday in the presence of his Maharashtra and Andhra Pradesh counterparts and Telangana Governor E S L Narasimhan.
Termed as the biggest achievement by India's youngest state, the project has been designed to irrigate 45 lakh acres of land for two crops in a year besides meeting the drinking water requirement of 70% of the state.
Officials say that the Rs 80,000 crore Kaleshwaram project is a major step towards the goal of 'Bangaru Telangana' (Golden Telangana), which was promised by the Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) government by bringing an area of one crore acres, under irrigation.
The project will be inaugurated with the three Chief Ministers and the Governor participating in a series of programmes at the project site in Jayashankar Bhupalapally district near the state's border with Maharashtra and Chhattisgarh.
