The Prime Minister, Dr Manmohan Singh, during the meeting, was told that 16 districts of the State have been adversely hit, with many farmers committing suicide. According to a statement from the Chief Minister's Office, Dr Reddy explained the massive irrigation projects undertaken by the State Government and the investments required to achieve this.
