Modi, who laid the foundation stone and dedicated to the nation multiple development projects worth around Rs 13,430 crore (Rs134.3 billion), said that these projects related to roads, electricity, railways, highways, and trade will strengthen connectivity across the state, boost industrial growth, and improve the ease of living for citizens.
The Prime Minister emphasised that these projects will greatly benefit Kurnool and surrounding regions in the state.
He said that the Union government was focussing on improving connectivity across the country.
"Multi-modal infrastructure is developing rapidly across the country and we are focusing strongly on connectivity, from villages to cities and from cities to ports," the Prime Minister added.
