Today, I had a productive and insightful meeting with Hon’ble Union Minister for Rural Development, Shri @ChouhanShivraj Ji, and discussed the progress of rural development initiatives being implemented in Andhra Pradesh
I expressed my sincere gratitude to the Hon’ble Minister for the continued support being extended to Andhra Pradesh through the Ministry of Rural Development. I also thanked him for allocating the 3rd highest funding under VB - G RAM G to Andhra Pradesh, which will further strengthen rural infrastructure, livelihoods, and community development across our State.
I am honoured that Andhra Pradesh has been chosen to host the National Launch Event of VB - G RAM G on July 1, 2026. Appreciating the State’s achievements in rural development, Shri Shivraj Singh Chouhan Ji noted that Andhra Pradesh has emerged as a national model through innovative initiatives, effective MGNREGS implementation, and strong Social Audit mechanisms. He stated that these accomplishments made Andhra Pradesh the ideal venue for launching VB - G RAM G and for showcasing its best practices at the National Gram Vikas Sammelan.
The Hon’ble Minister appreciated Andhra Pradesh’s effective implementation of MGNREGS and acknowledged the State’s commitment to transparency, accountability, and community participation through Social Audits.
Shri Shivraj Singh Chouhan Ji also appreciated Andhra Pradesh’s innovative Cattle Troughs initiative, undertaken with the resolve that no animal should remain far from a reliable source of drinking water, especially during the peak summer months. He lauded the State’s compassionate approach towards animal welfare and recognized the initiative as an excellent example of how rural development can directly support livestock, safeguard livelihoods, and improve the well-being of rural communities.
During our discussion, I shared the success of the Magic Drains initiative implemented in Peddapenki Village. Appreciating its impact on sanitation, drainage management, public health, and overall quality of life, Shri Shivraj Singh Chouhan Ji described it as a practical, sustainable, and cost-effective model for rural India and expressed his intention to replicate it in his Parliamentary Constituency in Madhya Pradesh.
I also sought the Hon’ble Minister’s support under VB - G RAM G for developing 260 Model Panchayats ahead of the upcoming Godavari Pushkaralu, with a focus on creating pollution-free villages through improved drainage systems, sewerage networks, sewage treatment facilities, and other critical rural infrastructure. Shri Shivraj Singh Chouhan Ji responded positively and assured all possible support through VB - G RAM G for this important initiative.
I sincerely thank Shri @ChouhanShivraj Ji for his encouragement, guidance, and unwavering support to Andhra Pradesh. His appreciation for our efforts and willingness to promote successful innovations across the country will further strengthen our collective mission of rural transformation.
I also express my gratitude to Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri @narendramodi Ji, whose vision of Viksit Bharat continues to inspire transformative, people-centric development and empower villages across the nation.

Today, I had a constructive meeting with Hon’ble Union Minister for Jal Shakti, Shri @CRPaatil Ji, and discussed key issues relating to drinking water, river conservation, and preparations for the upcoming Godavari Pushkarams.
We held detailed discussions on the upcoming Godavari Pushkarams and the urgent need to preserve the sanctity of the sacred Godavari River while managing the large influx of devotees expected during the event. I explained the challenges associated with river pollution, including untreated wastewater entering water bodies, inadequate sewage infrastructure in several riverbank habitations, and the environmental pressures that accompany large gatherings.
I sought the Ministry’s support for adopting proven river conservation and pollution-control measures in the lines of initiatives such as Namami Gange and other river rejuvenation programmes. We discussed the need for strengthening sewage treatment infrastructure, preventing pollutants from entering the river, improving solid and liquid waste management systems, and ensuring that the Godavari remains clean and pollution-free during and after the Pushkarams.
Shri C.R. Patil Ji appreciated Andhra Pradesh’s vision of conducting environmentally sustainable Godavari Pushkarams and emphasized the importance of adopting best practices from successful river conservation and pilgrimage management models across the country. He advised officials to undertake study visits to Surat, Varanasi, Prayagraj (Maha Kumbh), and other locations where large-scale riverfront management, pollution control, and pilgrim infrastructure have been implemented successfully.
Most encouragingly, the Hon’ble Minister assured that, upon submission of a comprehensive proposal by Andhra Pradesh, he would personally take up the matter and place the proposal before the Union Cabinet for consideration. This assurance reflects the Government of India’s commitment towards supporting Andhra Pradesh in protecting the sacred Godavari River and creating world-class environmental and public infrastructure for Godavari Pushkarams.
I had requested the Hon’ble Minister to favourably reconsider the Central share under the Jal Jeevan Mission (JJM) for Andhra Pradesh, considering the State’s commitment to providing safe and sustainable drinking water to every household. Shri C.R. Patil Ji responded positively towards addressing the concerns raised by the State.
I sincerely thank Shri C.R. Patil Ji for his positive response, valuable guidance, and commitment to supporting Andhra Pradesh’s efforts in river conservation, water security, and sustainable development.
I also express my gratitude to Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri @narendramodi Ji, whose visionary initiatives such as Namami Gange have demonstrated how environmental protection, river rejuvenation, and public participation can come together to create lasting change across the nation.
