India’s youngest state builds the World’s Largest Lift Irrigation Project “Kaleshwaram Project” in record time. And this is definitely a great milestone for our state. This will be the second biggest storage reservoir in the Godavari basin after Sriramsagar reservoir and is sufficient for the foreseeable future.

To meet the huge requirement of water, a mother reservoir was required to have a large storage capacity. Considering various aspects and having a lot of discussions on it, it was then decided that Mallannasagar would be the mother reservoir for KLIS on account of its geographical advantage. Though it faced a lot of backlash and criticism from various parts of the state, it did not stop the government from going forward.
