Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu participating in the release of the report of the Task Force Economic Development for Swarna Andhra Pradesh, in New Delhi on Wednesday.
Releasing the report of the Task Force on Economic Development for Swarna Andhra Pradesh (AP)-2047, Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu called it a comprehensive blueprint for the State’s economic growth, and that, having achieved the targets laid down in the Vision-2020 document, the government set for itself more ambitious goals now.
He said the Swarna Andhra Pradesh vision was in alignment with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Viksit Bharat-2047, and highlighted the importance of innovation and policy reforms.
Mr. Naidu said A.P. had strong and dynamic human resources and fertile land, and was rich in agricultural commodities, especially horticulture, aquaculture, and commercial crops.
The State was leveraging those advantages and top priority was given to infrastructure, and asserted that A.P. would be the logistics hub of India.
The Chief Minister called upon the affluent sections to invest in people as capital and support the weaker sections so that they would be economically empowered.
He noted that Visakhapatnam and Vijayawada had secured the first and third spots in LinkedIn’s first-ever ‘Cities on the Rise’ report, which highlighted India’s fastest-growing non-metro cities for professional growth.
From WhatsApp governance to AI-driven healthcare, the Chief Minister emphasised the role of technology in improving lives, and cited the success of the pilot project of digitisation of health records in Kuppam, developed in partnership with the Tata Group.
On the occasion, Mr. Naidu assured industrialists of full support, and thanked the task force Chairman N. Chandrasekaran and CII for their contributions, and pledged to implement their recommendations.
