On Sunday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated and laid the foundation stone for a multitude of development projects worth over Rs 13,500 crore in Telangana, all conducted via videoconferencing from Mahabubnagar district.
During this event, he announced the establishment of the National Turmeric Board and the forthcoming creation of the Sammakka-Sarakka Central Tribal University in Mulugu district. This tribal university project, which carries an estimated cost of Rs 900 crore, is significant and will play a role in advancing education in the region.
Prime Minister Modi acknowledged the importance of turmeric as India’s largest producer and emphasized the increased global demand for this spice, especially after the pandemic. To fully realize the potential of this valuable commodity, he highlighted the necessity of streamlining the turmeric supply chain, focusing on production and research.
