Konidela village in Kurnool district, which struggled for years due to severe drinking water shortage, has finally found relief. DCM Pawan Kalyan has once again proved his commitment to people-first governance by stepping forward to solve the long-pending issue; this time he personally used his own funds to resolve it.
For many years, villagers, especially women and the elderly, had to walk long distances daily to fetch drinking water. During summer, the situation became even more difficult. Understanding the people’s pain, he promised to intervene last March, aiming to resolve the issue within a year. Just 11 months later, the problem is solved. Thanks again to the DCM, who has been on a donation spree for the public welfare despite having the official power to allocate those same funds through his department.
Donating ₹50 lakhs from his personal funds, the DCM ensured the construction of a massive 90,000-litre protected drinking water Overhead Tank in Konidela village, stopping administrative and local political issues that could have stalled the process. The project is now complete and supplies safe, clean drinking water to nearly 2,000 villagers.
