AP CM: All employees be imparted capacity building training

Vijayawada, May 7 (UNI) Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Mr Chandrababu Naidu on Wednesday called for all the State Government employees to focus on capacity building for getting better results in discharging their duties.

Highlighting the importance of capacity building at all levels of Government to improve service delivery and administrative efficiency, the Chief Minister said that “From village-level worker to the Chief Secretary, capacity building is essential for everyone." The Chief Minister conducted a high-level review meeting on Planning, Swarna Andhra Vision and the Gross State Domestic Product (GSDP) at the State Secretariat here.

The Chief Minister said both online and offline training programmes will enhance skills and efficiency among public servants. “From agriculture officers to secretaries, from constables to the DGP – everyone must undergo capacity building,” he noted. Mr Chandrababu Naidu said that “I personally focus on continuous learning. I learn new things, understand emerging technologies and explore how to bring reforms through tech-driven governance. Skill enhancement through training will yield results and improve the quality of governance," he added.

With Sate, district and mandal-level plans are already in place under the Swarna Andhra Vision while constituency-specific vision plans are scheduled for completion by next month. Thematic reports will be ready by June and sectoral roadmaps by September, according to officials.

“Core policies like Zero Poverty (P4) and Population Management will be embedded into the vision framework. The State-wide capacity building workshops are being conducted across all the districts which will conclude by May 9,” he revealed.

Locations have been identified in 143 constituencies to set up Constituency Vision Action Plan Units. As part of the Zero Poverty P4 initiative, 1,118 mentors have adopted 15,315 ‘Golden Families’ across the State. To institutionalise this effort, the State Government is establishing the Swarna Andhra P4 Foundation, with the Chief Minister as Chairman.
