Chief Minister Reddy expressed his gratitude, stating that appreciation from Sonia Gandhi was like receiving a “Nobel Prize.” He emphasized the potential of the survey data to drive targeted development across Telangana, noting that no other state in the country currently possessed such a valuable resource.
