Hyderabad, Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy on Friday said his assembly constituency Kodangal in Vikarabad district would emerge as an education and industries hub.
Addressing a public meeting after laying foundation stones for a Lord Venkateswara Temple and other development works, he said a number of educational institutions, including medical, engineering, nursing and polytechnic colleges, an Advanced Technology Centre and a Sainik School are being established in Kodangal which was once a backward area.
The works would be completed within one-and-a-half years, he said.
Thanking the people of Kodangal for their blessings which made him occupy the post of chief minister, he said the constituency would be made as a role model for the entire country.
“We are establishing an industrial park spanning 2,300 acres at Lagacherla and constructing a major roadway connecting the airport directly to Kodangal,” he said.
Among other development initiatives, 90 per cent of the railway line at Vikarabad near Kodangal was already completed and the construction of a cement industry will commence within the next six months to provide employment and livelihood opportunities to local youth, he said.
The country’s leading industries are setting up their units in Kodangal, he said.
The CM instructed the officials to complete the Narayanpet-Kodangal Lift Irrigation Scheme within one-and-half year to bring Krishna River to the region.
The chief minister also assured that funds would be sanctioned and all hurdles in the completion of the lift project would be resolved.
He appealed to all local body representatives to strive for development of their villages by setting aside political differences.
In the past, residents of Kodangal had to travel to neighbouring Vikarabad or Pargi to pursue their education. Now, the government is undertaking extensive initiatives to ensure access to education and healthcare for the poor, he added.
