AP & Telangana State Head – Anandam Dundi :
Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu told the officials of the Planning Department to draw a roadmap for increasing the per capita income to ₹3,47,871 by the end of FY 2025–26, and to ₹5.42 lakh by 2029.
He stressed the importance of taking the Gross Value Added (GVA) to higher levels especially in mining, agriculture, horticulture and aqua sectors.
Addressing a review meeting on the Gross State Domestic Product (GSDP) and the government Key Performance Indicators (KPI) with officials of the planning and other departments concerned at the Secretariat on Monday (August 04), Mr. Chandrababu Naidu said all the government departments should have sector-specific plans for the short, medium and long terms in order to achieve the desired goals in a systematic manner.
He suggested that due priority has to be given to increasing the incomes of households, and called for efficient utilization of the natural resources.
Governance should be integrated with advanced technologies to be able to deliver citizen services in a better way, he said, calling for the policies to be in alignment with national and global trends so that the best outcomes could be achieved.
Further, A.P. must become the State having the highest per capita income, and living standards that were superior to those of other States, he added.
Monitoring should be done from the family level, and the officials have to incorporate the forest green cover, air quality, per capita electricity usage, and other such indicators in their planning process to arrive at a comprehensive picture.
The CM told the officials to make 700 government services available online from August 15, and said that information gathered through the Real Time Governance Society was a valuable asset that helps in making out plans from a long-term perspective. Finance Minister Payyavula Keshav, Chief Secretary K. Vijayanand and other senior officials took part.
