Former Indian cricketer and Rajya
Sabha member Sachin Tendulkar has adopted Puttamraju Kandrika village
located in Gudur mandal here for developing it as a smart village with nearly
Rs. 4 crore from his MPLADS funds.
Tendulkar already spoke to District Collector N. Srikanth and
Joint Collector G. Rekharani, who had sent proposals for developing various
amenities and social infrastructure in the village.
The cricket star had reportedly approved these proposals and gave
his consent for the same.
In this backdrop, the district officials are trying to arrange
for the visit of Mr.Tendulkar to the village and interact with its residents
on November 16, the day he took retirement from cricket after an eventful
career.
