Making Peddapalli the Cleanest District of India

By efforts of 2008-batch IAS officer A Sri Devesena Peddapalli became `defecation and open drain’ free.

When she was posted in Peddapalli, the district was prone to dengue because of the open drainage system. 

She took an initiative in constructing soak pits for every house, along with community soak pits.

She also focused on increasing the green cover.  Now, the district is more green, and thus pleasing to the eyes.
