Telangana MAUD (municipal administration and urban development) and IT minister KT Rama Rao stated that setting up the proposed Aqua Hub in the Mid Manair Dam will be a turning point for fisheries.

According to the Minister, the facility that costs about Rs 2,000 crore, will provide jobs for 10,000 people, invested by Ananda Group, Fresh Home, and US-based CP Aqua Group.

The Minister praised the weavers of Sircilla, who made about Rs 1.2 crore national flags at 5,000 power loom units. Counting the developments done by the KCR government in the Telangana, the Rama Rao said, “Telangana is the only State to have introduced schemes like Rythu Bheema, Rythu Bandhu, and 24×7 power supply to the farmers. We are proud of having launched the 1st-of-its-kind insurance scheme for weavers.”

He further stated that the Telangana government would be setting up the largest fisheries facility. He said, “An MoU has been signed with a US-based fish organization to set up the country’s biggest Aqua Hub in the Mid Manair Dam. The facility will be spread over 367 acres.”
