Micro-irrigation projects are helping farmers across Kurnool district improve agricultural productivity while conserving water resources. Under government-supported schemes, many farmers have adopted drip and sprinkler irrigation systems, enabling efficient water distribution and reducing wastage. These modern irrigation methods are particularly beneficial in drought-prone areas, ensuring that crops receive adequate moisture even during periods of limited rainfall.
The Agriculture Department continues to encourage farmers to utilize micro-irrigation facilities by providing financial assistance, technical support, and awareness programs. The initiative has led to better crop yields, lower irrigation costs, and improved cultivation of crops such as groundnut, horticultural crops, vegetables, and fruit orchards. Officials believe that expanding micro-irrigation across the district will strengthen sustainable farming practices, enhance water-use efficiency, and improve the livelihoods of farmers in Kurnool district.
