He spoke at the awareness conference on Agricultural Subsidy Sector Schemes held at Baswapur Village Rythu Vedika, in Koheda mandal in Karimnagar district on Friday. Speaking on the occasion, he said that if anyone does not get 200 units of free current, get Aadhaar linked at Prajapalan Seva Sevakendras to get subsidy.

Commercial crop dragon fruit plants should be grown. Mulberry trees should be planted and silkworm cultivation should be undertaken.
Government gives subsidy and one can earn Rs 4 to 5 lakhs per annum if done in 2 acres, Prabhakar said.
