Dr. Pemmasani's Initiatives for a Better Society
Dengue Control Efforts: Wolbachia Program
Dr. Pemmasani supports the Wolbachia Program by ICMR-VCRC, which demonstrates that Wolbachia-infected Aedes aegypti mosquitoes can significantly reduce dengue and chikungunya virus replication, providing an eco-friendly solution for disease control.
To support this transformative research, Dr. Pemmasani has formally advocated for its implementation through an official letter to the Honourable Minister, emphasizing its potential to improve community health
Roadmap to Improve Conditions of Artisans and Village Industries
Dr. Pemmasani has proposed a strategic roadmap to empower artisans and modernize village industries under the “Atmanirbhar Bharat” vision. Key initiatives include establishing craft clusters, promoting eco-friendly production, leveraging technology, and creating export zones to enhance global reach.
Through an official letter to the Honourable Minister, Dr. Pemmasani emphasized the importance of these measures to preserve cultural heritage and uplift rural economies.
Revolutionizing India's Chilli Industry
Dr. Pemmasani, Minister of State for Rural Development and Communication, is championing a bold initiative to reshape India’s chilli industry. Despite being the largest global producer and exporter, contributing 40% of the world’s chilli output, Indian farmers face persistent challenges such as price instability, climate risks, and inadequate infrastructure.
In a formal appeal to the Honourable Minister, Dr. Pemmasani outlined the transformative potential of this initiative. Beyond uplifting farmers’ incomes, it promises to enhance public health by ensuring access to premium-quality, nutritious, and safely cultivated chillies.
