Why it matters
The project represents a shift toward sustainable agriculture and environmental protection in regional farming practices.
A bio-fertiliser production laboratory, estimated to cost ₹3.02 crore, will be established at Yendada in Visakhapatnam district under the Pradhan Mantri Rashtriya Krishi Vikas Yojana.
Bheemili MLA Ganta Srinivasa Rao laid the foundation stone for the facility on Friday.
Mr. Srinivasa said the State government has been prioritising agriculture and supporting farmers through procurement centres, market intervention and storage facilities. He said the excessive use of chemical fertilisers could affect soil health and stressed the need to promote bio-fertilisers.
He said Yendada in the Bheemili Assembly constituency is one of the three locations where new bio-fertiliser laboratories are being established in the State. He asked officials to complete the facility in about nine months.
