Chandrababu Naidu plans to develop Innovative Valley in Vizag

Visakhapatnam: Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu here on Sunday said Andhra Pradesh is endowed with people with innovative skills and his aim was to develop Visakhapatnam as “Innovative Valley” on the lines of Silicon Valley in US.

Speaking at the special plenary session on “Technologies for Tomorrow” on the second day of CII Partnership Summit, the Chief Minister said that the purpose of real time governance was to empower people through the use of technology. Every family in the state should have one person with computer knowledge.

One government, one citizen, people first and visible government and invisible governance were the concepts on which the TDP government would work, he added. Naidu said that he has been roping in private agencies to provide various services, this would result in saving of about 30 per cent of funds which could be used for other welfare measures. Giving an example, the Chief Minister claimed that 40 lakh LED bulbs were provided without spending even a single rupee.

He had also referred to the real time governance and asserted that this would enable him to monitor every activity of government departments. Performance indicators are taken into account from every department and this would help him fixing responsibility.

Real Time Governance would also ensure transparency and prevent fraud and other ills in various departments. The government was keen to attend to all grievances of people and just a voice call would ensure that his grievance is attended to. The feedback would be sought after attending the grievance and only then the file would be closed, Chandrababu Naidu explained.
