AP: CM outlines goals to achieve Swarnandhra Vision 2047

Vijayawada, Mar 25 (UNI) Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu emphasised the crucial role of proactive governance and strategic investments in achieving the ambitious Swarnandhra Vision 2047 at the Third Collectors’ Conference, held in Amaravati near here on Tuesday.
He highlighted that while 23 percent of funding for the state’s development comes from central and state assistance, the remaining 77 percent must be mobilised through private investments.
Stressing the importance of Viability Gap Funding (VGF), he urged district collectors to bring in new projects, assuring that the government is willing to increase VGF where necessary.
The Chief Minister underscored the importance of wealth creation, stating that the Gross State Domestic Product (GSDP) is driven primarily by the Gross Value Added (GVA) sub-sector contributions.
He directed collectors to focus on key sectors, including livestock, horticulture, manufacturing, fisheries, and aquaculture, to maximise income generation.
He further emphasised that collectors must demonstrate their leadership skills and adapt to the rapidly evolving economic landscape.
“Reevaluate and strategise as districts once considered underdeveloped are now progressing rapidly. We need to keep pace with this transformation,” he stated.
In line with his commitment to capacity building, the Chief Minister announced plans to establish a premier institution for training and administration, similar to the Dr MCR HRD Institute in Hyderabad, to nurture administrative excellence.
