Officials from the District Irrigation Department and Groundwater Department attended the program and shared key instructions and suggestions. They emphasized that the training sessions were designed to give clear understanding and guidance to all participants involved in the census.
The Chief Planning Officer and associated officials called on all staff to ensure that the data collected meets the quality and accuracy expected by the government.
Participants of the training included planning and statistical officers from all mandals, sub-statistical officers, and other relevant field functionaries.
This initiative is expected to play a pivotal role in understanding local water resources and contribute meaningfully to water security and sustainable irrigation planning across rural Telangana.
