Chief Minister N. Chandrababu said the Swarna Andhra Pradesh-2047 plan was in alignment with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Viksit Bharat vision and that all-out efforts were being made by the government to achieve that with bridging the gap between haves and have-nots as the underlying objective.
The Andhra Pradesh government has set for itself an ambitious target to achieve 15% growth rate by 2047, which was not impossible but requires a clear vision and concerted actions, especially by the District Collectors, whose role was extremely crucial than anyone else’s. They should make best efforts for overall development of the State, he noted.
Making his opening remarks at the 4th District Collectors’ Conference at the Secretariat in Guntur district on Monday (September 15), Mr. Chandrababu Naidu said India was once ridiculed by the developed countries as having the ‘Hindu growth rate’ of a maximum of 3.50% but it shifted gears by ushering in policy reforms in the 1990s and had since not looked back. A.P. was in the forefront of implementing those reforms and things were going quite smoothly till bifurcation made the situation topsy-turvy for the ‘successor State of A.P.’
As on date, A.P. has the lowest per capita income among the southern States, and it continued to grapple with the fallout of the bifurcation.
