CM outlines roadmap for AP's development
Amaravati: Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu rang in the Ugadi festival with a clear vision for the state's future. Speaking at the Sri Parabhava nama Ugadi celebrations in Vijayawada, Naidu outlined a roadmap for Andhra Pradesh's development, focusing on short, medium, and long-term strategies.
The Chief Minister's vision includes positioning the Telugu community globally by 2047, leveraging technology to drive governance, and creating 2 million jobs. "Our aim is to make Andhra Pradesh a wealthy, healthy, and happy society by 2047," Naidu said.
The government's plans include introducing a water security policy, completing the Polavaram project, and developing regional economic corridors. Naidu also emphasized preserving cultural values and promoting social security for all citizens.
The Chief Minister said Ugadi pachadi reflects human life, symbolizing the mix of joys and hardships, just like its six tastes. Festivals, he said, teach healthy living practices and traditions are rooted in science. Practices like Vastu and Surya Namaskar, as well as systems like yoga and naturopathy, originate from nature and contribute to health, happiness and prosperity.
The Chief Minister said he had the honor of organizing Godavari Pushkarams for the third time and pledged to conduct the upcoming Krishna Pushkarams grandly. He stated that Rs 1,943 crore has been provided so far for Polavaram project displaced families. He reaffirmed that the Polavaram project would be completed before the Godavari Pushkarams and dedicated to the nation. He added that about Rs 5,000 crore more is required to complete the project.
He warned people to be cautious of disruptive elements and reaffirmed the government's commitment to generating 2 million jobs. A job calendar has been released to fill 10,060 posts through APPSC, with recruitment notifications scheduled from May 15 to October.
The event was marked with the distribution of Ugadi awards to distinguished individuals in various fields, including literature, music, and social service. As Andhra Pradesh celebrates the new year, Naidu's message of progress and development has set the tone for the state's future.
