Emphasises for a cohesive Administration

Chief Minister Mr Nara Chandrababu Naidu set the stage for transformative governance at the recently held Ministers and Secretaries Conference, emphasizing the need for integrated leadership, strategic planning, and innovative governance to drive Andhra Pradesh towards its ambitious targets for 2047.

Emphasising a paradigm shift in Indian politics, CM Naidu noted that voters have rejected false promises and now demand performance-driven leadership.

He therefore urged government officials to shoulder their responsibilities with dedication and reaffirmed his commitment to a governance model that prioritises delivery, transparency, and long-term progress.

In his opening remarks at the conference the Chief Minister underscored the session as a “brainstorming workshop” designed to streamline government services and enhance public welfare.

Stressing the responsibility of integrating various departments, he called for a comprehensive review to ensure cohesion in administration.

Addressing the state’s challenges, the Chief Minister pointed to the deteriorated morale of officials, defunct departments, and derailed projects.

Reviving Central Schemes

He revealed that nearly 90 centrally sponsored schemes had become non-functional due to mismanagement and fund diversions. In response, the government is now prioritizing the optimal implementation of central schemes and ensuring the right people are placed in key positions.

Vision for Swarnandhra 2047

As part of his long-term vision, CM Naidu outlined the “Swarnandhra 2047” roadmap, aligning with the national vision of Vikasit Bharat.

The strategy focuses on achieving a sustained 15% growth rate and ensuring fiscal responsibility by effectively managing and repaying loans.

He highlighted comparative growth figures, pointing out that Gujarat has grown 15 times while West Bengal has expanded four times, despite possessing more resources.

Enlisting key principles driving the administration’s agenda he stressed the need to strengthening family welfare services, ensuring streetlights, roads, drainage, garbage collection, and a circular economy model to build a healthier and wealthier society.

“Accelerating revenue growth, streamlining bureaucratic processes, and fostering a culture of innovation is the need of the hour,” he added. He said that the government is collaborating with Karma Yogi to build capacity and enhance governance efficiency.

He wanted the officials to leverage the “first mover advantage” to secure central funds under the newly announced Union Budget schemes.

The Chief Minister also highlighted the importance of integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI) into governance, similar to how Information Technology (IT) was a game-changer in 1995.

Additionally, he stressed the urgency of addressing key infrastructure gaps, particularly in providing potable water to every household in Andhra Pradesh.

Economic and Budgetary Targets

Laying down ambitious economic milestones, CM Naidu set the following targets:

• Achieving USD 42,000 per capita income by 2047.
• Transforming Andhra Pradesh into a USD 2.4 trillion GSDP economy by 2047.
• Designing the 2025-26 Budget to be innovative and goal-oriented to drive growth.

Concluding his address, he called upon all officials to rededicate themselves to the mission of building a prosperous and developed Andhra Pradesh.
