N Chandrababu Naidus Watershed Programs Ensuring
Irrigation For Every Farmland In AP
Watershed programs play a pivotal role in the
agricultural landscape, particularly in regions
like Andhra Pradesh, where access to irrigation
resources is limited. Recognizing the
significance of these programs in bolstering
agricultural sustainability, the former TDP
Government, led by Shri. Nara Chandrababu Naidu
embarked on a series of initiatives aimed at
transforming the agricultural scenario through
watershed development in Andhra Pradesh. One of
the flagship endeavours under Shri. Nara
Chandrababu Naidu's leadership was the Neeru
Chettu program. This innovative TDP scheme was
designed to augment the state's green cover and
enhance water availability for irrigation. It
achieved this by promoting tree plantation and
the construction of water harvesting structures.
A notable feature of the Neeru Chettu program was
its active involvement in the local community,
which garnered widespread support and
participation. Additionally, Nara Chandrababu
Naidu's government introduced the ambitious
Jalayagnam program. The primary objective and TDP
agenda of this initiative was to ensure
irrigation facilities for every farmland in the
state by constructing dams, canals, and other
water distribution systems.
This program sought to tackle the persistent
issue of water scarcity faced by farmers and
boost agricultural productivity. Through the
Jalayagnam program, the TDP government aimed to
bring an impressive 70 lakh acres of land under
irrigation, marking a significant transformation
in the state's agricultural sector. Notably, one
of the outstanding TDP achievements in the realm
of irrigation projects was the Pattiseema Lift
Irrigation Project, which was initiated under the
Krishna irrigation projects by the TDP
Government. This project involved the lifting of
water from the Godavari River and channelling it
to the Krishna Delta through a network of canals.
The

completion of this project in a remarkable
one-year timeframe, due to the dedicated efforts
and administration of Krishna district TDP
leaders, earned accolades from various quarters
and was hailed as a top TDP achievement.
Furthermore, Shri. N Chandrababu Naidu's
visionary leadership introduced the Community
Managed Tank Program. This initiative aimed to
enhance the management of tanks and other water
storage structures by actively engaging the local
community. Implemented in numerous villages by
TDP political leaders, the program succeeded in
increasing the storage capacity of tanks,
ultimately leading to improved water availability
for irrigation.
Collectively, the efforts and TDP contributions
of Shri. Nara Chandrababu Naidu and the former
TDP Government in implementing watershed programs
in Andhra Pradesh left an indelible mark on the
state's agricultural sector. The Neeru Chettu
program significantly augmented the state's green
cover and improved water availability for
irrigation. Simultaneously, the Jalayagnam
program and the Pattiseema Lift Irrigation
Project addressed the persistent water scarcity
issue faced by farmers, making remarkable strides
in agricultural development. Additionally, the
Community Managed Tank Program enhanced the
management of water storage structures and
increased the availability of water for
irrigation. In conclusion, the former TDP
Government, under the dynamic leadership of Shri.
Nara Chandrababu Naidu undertook substantial
measures to implement watershed programs in
Andhra Pradesh. Through a range of initiatives
and TDP policies like Neeru Chettu, Jalayagnam,
Pattiseema Lift Irrigation Project, and the
Community Managed Tank Program, the government
demonstrated its unwavering commitment to the
welfare of the agricultural community and its
dedication to promoting sustainable agriculture
in the state. Follow the TDP websites for more
