“Punjab is the first state where Green Revolution happened. They have the record in paddy production for the past 50 years. Today, Telangana reached number one place in paddy production by surpassing Punjab,” he said.
“In the whole of India, paddy was cultivated in 94 lakh acres this summer. Out of that, 56.40 lakh acres was cultivated in Telangana alone. More than 50 per cent of (the total in) India,” KCR added.
