Revanth Reddy visited the Edupayala Vanadurga Bhavani temple in Nagasanpalli, Papannapet Mandal, Medak district, and laid the foundation stone for several development works. The initiatives, with a total budget of ₹192 crore, aim to boost infrastructure and welfare in the region.
Key development projects include the construction of roads linking various tribal villages in the Medak constituency at a cost of ₹52.76 crore. Additionally, the foundation stone was laid for the Young India Integrated Residential School Complex and the Indira Mahila Shakti Bhavan, which is set to be constructed with an allocation of ₹5 crore. Bank linkage cheques worth ₹100 crore will be provided to self-help group (SHG) women in the Medak district. Infrastructure improvements at Edupayala, including road expansion, divider construction, and the installation of high-mast lights, will be carried out with ₹35 crore.
Later, the Chief Minister also attended the centenary celebrations of the historic Medak Cathedral. It is the second-largest cathedral in Asia, standing as a symbol of unity and resilience. During his visit, Mr. Reddy laid the foundation stone for additional development works worth ₹29 crore at Medak Church and participated in Christmas celebrations, offered special prayers.
Addressing the gathering, he said, “It is a pleasure to celebrate the centenary of Medak Church in a grand manner. Our government has released the necessary funds for its development. This cathedral is not just a religious site but a testament to the historical spirit of Medak.” Highlighting his government’s commitment to the welfare of marginalised communities, he stated, “The Congress government is a government of the poor. Inspired by the legacy of Christian missionaries in education and medicine, we have introduced fee reimbursement and Rajiv Aarogyasri.”
