The survey highlights that Telangana has effectively doubled its cultivated area in just over a decade, growing from 1.31 crore acres in 2014 to 2.21 crore acres in 2025-26. This was possible due to the Kaleshwaram Lift Irrigation Project (KLIP) and Mission Kakatiya, the report said. Synergy of KLIP and Mission Kakatiya: The report lauds the Kaleshwaram Lift Irrigation Project (KLIP) for overcoming topographical barriers to bring water to high-altitude regions. Digital Land Reforms (Bhu Bharati): The survey specifically appreciated the current Congress government’s Bhu Bharati portal. Northern Telangana (The KLIP Heartland)Rajanna Sircilla and Karimnagar: These districts witnessed the most dramatic rise in groundwater levels (5–10 meters).
