The Telangana Government has asked farmers to go for crops that require less water. It wanted them to shun paddy this season, keeping in view the unfavourable weather conditions.
State Agriculture Minister Pocharam Srinivasa Reddy and Principal Secretary Poonam Malakondaiah held a review meeting on Tuesday with officials to take stock of the kharif crop and to discuss the rabi plan.
The meeting also discussed the losses caused by the untimely rains last week and measures to be taken to help farmers sell cotton.
