Overview
- Narayanpet and Nagarkurnool district administrations were presented national awards for their PMDDKY work, with District Collectors Ch. Priyanka and Hemanta Keshav Patil accepting the honours in New Delhi on Monday.
- The Pradhan Mantri Dhan-Dhaanya Krishi Yojana was launched on October 11, 2025 to target 100 low‑productivity districts by bundling 36 central schemes across 11 departments to boost yields, cropping intensity and access to farm credit.
- Both collectors used the awards ceremony to credit local teams for delivery, say the recognition increases responsibility for district offices, and call for tighter coordination across departments to implement programmes in a planned way.
- In Telangana the scheme is active in Narayanpet, Jogulamba Gadwal, Jangaon and Nagarkurnool, and the national awards are being used as a performance signal to prompt replication of practices that raised farmer support in winning districts.
- The Union Ministry of Agriculture presented awards to multiple districts at the New Delhi event, showing national-level benchmarking of credit disbursement and on‑ground delivery that could steer future funding and oversight priorities.
