Annamdevula Chanti selected for AP Biodiversity Award
Chanti will receive the award from the Deputy Chief Minister Konidela Pawan Kalyan at a ceremony to be held on May 22 at Tummalapalli Kalakshetram in Vijayawada.
Chanti has been actively engaged in environmental and biodiversity conservation efforts for over 25 years. His initiatives include plantation and protection of trees, care for animals, promotion of organic farming, preservation of local traditions and cultures, and sustainable environmental practices.
Two decades ago, he took up a large-scale plantation drive along both sides of the village roads and personally ensured their maintenance. He has also been involved in the re-establishment of an ancient Manduva house, the protection of native art forms like Garagalu and Garadilu, and the promotion of folk culture.
Chanti's conservation efforts extend to tying bundles of paddy (vari kucchulu) to protect bird species, digging percolation pits for groundwater recharge, adopting solar energy for sustainable power usage, and cultivating medicinal plants.
In acknowledgment of his relentless dedication, the Andhra Pradesh Biodiversity Board has chosen him for this prestigious honour. The Board's Member Secretary P Ramakrishna has formally communicated the award selection to Chanti.

Water supply hit in Coimbatore as Pillur Dam shutters open amid overflow
COIMBATORE: Water supply to several residential areas in Coimbatore was disrupted on Saturday as officials were forced to halt drawing water from the Pillur Dam after it reached its full storage capacity of 100 feet on Friday night. The opening of the dam's shutters, a standard protocol to manage excess water, affected operations under the Pillur Scheme 3, a major drinking water project for the city. Executed jointly by the Tamil Nadu Water Supply and Drainage (TWAD) Board and the Coimbatore City Municipal Corporation (CCMC), the Pillur Scheme 3 project aims to supply 178.30 million litres per day (MLD) of water to the expanded areas of the city. The Rs 780-crore scheme draws water from the Bhavani Barrage-1, located downstream of the Pillur Dam near Mettupalayam, and includes an extensive infrastructure network of wells, tunnels, pipelines, treatment plants, and overhead tanks. However, during the monsoon season, when the dam's level reaches the 100-foot mark, the shutters are opened to release surplus water to prevent flooding. When over 10,000 cusecs of water is released, all eight shutters of the Bhavani Barrage-1 are also opened, making it impossible for officials to draw water for city supply.
