  • This is Mallareddy Steno hailing from Karimnagar, now I am working as Steno at Nirmal Court, Adilabad Dist. The SRSP is one of the large reservoirs in the world. This is the God of farmers of Telangana. Before this Dam all the agricultural fields were infertile and unirrigated, starvation was there. When it came into existence lakhs of acres of crops are being grown in this region. Hats of to the planners and builders of this great Dam.
