He said farmers are facing a lot of trouble in marketing after the harvest and a system should be established for this purpose and it will be good to motivate the farmers from time to time by appointing suitable staff regarding crop rotation.
A student Nalla Rachna of Singapuram VSR Degree College, Huzurabad opinioned that it is gratifying that the State government is allocating more funds to the education sector and allocating additional funds of Rs 3008 crore to the secondary education and higher education is a good sign.

He felt that focus should be laid on education and health sectors as they are the most important aspects for growth of any nation and requested the government to strengthen these two sectors from ground level.
A software employee Tanniru Kaushik Kumar said that today the IT sector in the country is competing in Hyderabad, a unique and independent department should be established for the IT sector and a system should be established to attract more foreign funds and the IT employees should pay attention to the IT sector and provide them with infrastructure and job security as well. He said that there is a need for the government to set up a special fund and create an environment that will give them morale and it is regrettable that the government has not made any effort in this direction in this budget.
