We couldn't independently confirm this verdict against a government order or an established news source. This assessment is provisional — read it with caution.
Help us verify“Complete all irrigation projects in time to ensure that every acre of arable land is irrigated.”
The declaration promised completion of all irrigation projects in time so that every acre of arable land is irrigated. The government has reported work on specific projects, including a stated target of completing the Sitarama Lift Irrigation Project by August 2026 to serve lakhs of acres, indicating real and ongoing activity on parts of the irrigation programme. However, the promise as worded, completing all projects so that every arable acre is irrigated, is far from met, and the state's largest project, Kaleshwaram, is under a legal and investigative cloud following barrage damage. Partial, ongoing delivery on a fraction of the overall commitment supports a partial verdict. Budget: irrigation carries substantial state allocations across years, but no approved-source evidence was found that funding has delivered the promised universal coverage.
