Amaravati: Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister and TDP national president N Chandrababu Naidu on Tuesday said there is a Rs87,000 crore shortfall in GSDP in Andhra Pradesh compared to Telangana and stressed the need to address declining purchasing power by substantially improving the growth rate.
He was speaking at an interactive meet with the Ministers, Secretaries and senior officials here. The Chief Minister emphasised that a strategic approach is required to meet GSDP targets, as economic growth depends on achieving these goals. A Vision Monitoring Unit (VMU) will be established at the State level, he announced and said the districts must prepare constituency-level plans. Additionally, districts should identify key projects contributing to GSDP growth, which will be tracked through a dedicated portal.
As part of Swarnandhra Vision-2047 and aligning it with Viksit Bharat Vision, he said their strategy is to focus on achieving a sustained 15 per cent growth rate and ensuring fiscal responsibility by effectively managing and repaying loans. He asked everyone to work on a mission mode to achieve $42,000 per capita income, transforming Andhra Pradesh into a $2.4 trillion GSDP economy
by 2047.
Naidu said department mapping with GSDP will be conducted, and a 15.76 per cent overall growth rate has been set as the target. The CM also announced that the next Collectors' conference will feature zonal-wise presentations to further refine growth strategies.
The performance of the public grievance redressal system was analysed based on SLA performance, heatmap insights, and low grievance reopen percentages. The Chief Minister identified Revenue, Home, Panchayat Raj, and Civil Supplies as the major areas of concern, emphasising that district-level administration must be strengthened. He stated that merely transferring grievances is not a solution and that the quality of grievance disposal must be systematically reviewed. Other States have implemented grievance quality review mechanisms, and Andhra Pradesh must follow suit. The impact of the Revenue Act on grievance redressal also requires assessment to ensure its effectiveness.
The CM outlined the Mission Karmayogi initiative, highlighting the importance of continuous training for government employees. An MoU has been signed with CBC to align with the AP Knowledge Society.
