TPCC President and MLC B. Mahesh Kumar Goud donated 11 acres of his personal land for various public development works in his native village Rahatnagar in Bhimgal mandal of Nizamabad district.
Mr. Goud said that as a gesture of philanthropy, he has earmarked 10 acres for the construction of an integrated school and one acre for an electricity substation. He said his bond with Rahatnagar would continue till his “last breath” as he responded to the villagers’ felicitations.
Mr. Goud expressed gratitude to Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy and R&B Minister Komatireddy Venkat Reddy for approving funds for the Temple Corridor project connecting Dharmapuri and Basara, passing through Rahatnagar.
The Temple Corridor route will connect Dharmapuri, Kondagattu, Vemulawada, Limbadri Guttu and finally Basara, enhancing connectivity in the region. The government has sanctioned ₹380 crore for the road and Rahatnagar will be the focal point between Karimnagar and Nizamabad.
He attended the bhoomi puja for the new Durga Devi temple built by the endowments department at a cost of ₹50 lakh and emotionally recalled that his father, Bomma Gangadhar Goud, had built the earlier Durga Devi temple in the village.
Reflecting on his journey, Goud said he never imagined he would become PCC president and attributed his rise to public life to the values instilled by his parents.
