AP will be No.1 State in 10 yrs: Chandrababu Naidu
Stating that he was working with a vision to make Andhra Pradesh the most developed State in India in the next 10 years, Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu said the number of awards won by the State was reflecting the day and night hard work and performance of his government to bring the State out of all the hardships and challenges post bifurcation
Vijayawada: Stating that he was working with a vision to make Andhra Pradesh the most developed State in India in the next 10 years, Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu said the number of awards won by the State was reflecting the day and night hard work and performance of his government to bring the State out of all the hardships and challenges post bifurcation.
In a brief interaction with Energy and CRDA officials here on Sunday, the Chief Minister directed the officials to continue the same performance to reach the goal. He also appreciated the AP power sector for winning 139 awards during the last four years and wanted officials to continue the same tempo in future also.
The Chief Minister said that the Sunrise State of Andhra Pradesh made a benchmark in governance in various fields and secured dozens of awards at national and international level, including standing first in ease of doing business, Skoch awards, Swachh Sarvekshan award, national e-Governance award, HUDCO and IGBC awards for various departments such as Panchayat Raj and Rural development, IT, APCRDA, Irrigation and Industries.
“I am appreciating our employees for this success. I am dedicating all these awards to the people of Andhra Pradesh and seeking their blessings and cooperation. I won’t relent until AP stands as the best State in the world. Post-bifurcation, AP is the new State and we have faced difficult challenges. But, we are doing wonders by making impossible things possible, even though we started with a deficit budget of Rs 16,000 crore,” Naidu said.
Stating that Andhra topped all other States in winning national and international awards, the Chief Minister pointed out, “Even the United Nations Organisation (UNO) also recognised our ability and performance and invited me to deliver a keynote address at an event.” Predicting that Andhra Pradesh would become one of the best States in the world in energy efficiency, the Chief Minister said that with measures taken by the government, the State has achieved around 2,000 MU estimated energy savings so far through implementation of energy efficiency measures.
Municipal administration minister P Narayana, CMO officials Satish Chandra, G Sai Prasad, Amaravati Development Corporation chairperson Lakshmi Pardhasarathy, Principal Secretary (Energy) and CRDA Ajay Jain, APTransco CMD Vijayanand, CRDA Commissioner Ch Sreedhar, Advisor to power sector K Ranganatham and others were present.
