After the visit of Tarun Chugh National General Secretary of BJP, to Nizamabad district, Arvind said that the state government must submit a proposal for Rs 10,000 per quintal of turmeric produce and the Central government would transfer their share of funds to the farmers as per the Market Intervention Scheme. So this shows that the central government is ready to help the farmers of the district.”

They have provided trade infrastructure under the exports scheme and have made Nizamabad and Jagityal as Tumeric export clusters.
