The unique feature of Krishna Pushkaralu this year is that its technology-driven. 


Having successfully completed the interlinking of rivers Godavari and Krishna through the Pattisam Lift Irrigation Scheme, the state government now wants to embark on the next step to link river Krishna with Penna.


"We have interlinked Godavari and Krishna and now we have to extend it to Penna and later to Somasila. The ultimate objective is to make AP drought-free by the next Pushkaralu," Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu has said. In all, 170 bathing ghats have been readied in Kurnool, Guntur and Krishna districts for the Pushkaralu.
