Telangana has largely triumphed where the Centre failed, according to IT and industry minister K T Rama Rao, whether it is in recovering the fortunes of the agricultural industry or in the destiny of public sector enterprises.

He remarked during the opening of telangana Vijaya Dairy's massive dairy facility in Raviryal, Rangareddy district, that prime minister Narendra Modi has pledged to quadruple farmers' earnings by 2022. The plain fact was that nowhere in india had farmers' income increased by twice as much. However, telangana was the sole exception, owing to the State government's efforts. The State administration was dedicated to building public sector organisations by providing hand-holding support notwithstanding the Centre's terrible betrayal of them, he added.

With the assistance of the State and dairy producers, Vijaya Dairy, which had previously been purposefully ignored by the former rulers, started to prosper once more. This also applied to several State-owned businesses, such as the State Road Transport Corporation, which was ultimately integrated with the government.

The basis of Vijaya Dairy telangana was rapidly growing as it supported the continuous white revolution taking place in the State. The amount of milk collected by the company, which was around 1.5 lakh litres in 2014, has already surpassed 4 lakh litres. The establishment of the mammoth dairy cost Rs. 250 crore. More advantages for dairy producers would result from Vijaya Dairy's expansion. In order to satisfy the promise made by the State administration, the incentive of Rs. 4 per litre would be put into effect. He claimed that the idea of micro dairies was also quickly gaining popularity.

The State's paddy production, which was around 68 lakh metric tonnes at the time of bifurcation, has increased dramatically during the past nine years. Today, paddy was produced on a yearly basis in excess of 3.5 crore metric tonnes. Similar to how coastal fisheries underwent a revolution, inland fisheries similarly did so with state government assistance. The activity has made a significant contribution to the communities affected.

The meat business underwent a transformation, which was another significant industry. The Golla and Kuruma clans were heavily involved in the State government's sponsorship of sheep farming, which cost over Rs 11,000 crore. telangana was poised for a yellow revolution as the state government heavily promoted oil palm planting as well. Both education minister P Sabitha indra Reddy and minister of Animal Husbandry Talasani srinivas Yadav were present.
