The T.B.P.H.L.C. Stage-II scheme, which is an Ongoing Project has been taken up during 1967 with a cost of Rs 914.70 Lakhs to provide irrigation facilities to an extent of 2,83,041 acres (including 1,01,600 acres under PABR Stage-II, i.e., Yadiki Canal System) in Ananthapuramu, Kadapa and Kurnool districts. Out of the total ayacut of 2,83,041 acres ayacut contemplated under T.B.P.H.L.C. Stage-II scheme, an ayacut of 1,33,807 acres is situated in Ananthapuramu district.
