17 April 2025, New Delhi: The transformative impact of irrigation and lake rejuvenation initiatives in Karnataka is becoming increasingly evident, as highlighted by heartening stories shared by local farmers with Mr. M. B. Patil, Minister for Commerce & Industries and Infrastructure, Government of Karnataka.
In a recent interaction at his residence office in Vijayapura, Mr. Patil met with two farmers from the Babaleshwar constituency who exemplify the growing prosperity in the region.
Mr. Kalappa Sabu Talawar, a farmer from Hokkundi village, cultivates bananas on a modest one-acre plot. Despite the small landholding, he has managed to generate an impressive annual income of ₹4.5 lakh. As a token of gratitude and goodwill, Mr. Talawar brought a bunch of bananas to the minister.
Similarly, Mr. Mudakappa Konadi from Ittangihaala village shared his success story. Cultivating grapes across four acres, he is set to earn ₹47 lakh this year. Mr. Konadi arrived bearing a large box of grapes, expressing joy over his thriving agricultural venture.
