Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu set forth an ambitious vision for the State’s economic growth and governance in the valedictory of the Collectors’ Conference, while urging the officers to drive innovation, adopt modern technology, and facilitate investment for rapid development.

In the same vein, Mr. Naidu subtly warned the Collectors that he would ‘expose’ them if they failed to sort out certain issues in their grasp.

Delivering his speech, the Chief Minister emphasised that Andhra Pradesh (AP) aimed at achieving a per capita income of $42,000, and called for efforts to increase the growth rate to 15%.

He stressed that every district must play a crucial role in achieving this goal by leveraging its unique resources and opportunities.

He advised the Collectors to regularly tour their districts, engage with the stakeholders, and identify initiatives to boost the per capita income and underscored the importance of proactive leadership. 

Mr. Naidu exhorted the Collectors to adopt out-of-the-box thinking.

He noted that funds were secondary to well-planned, technology-driven initiatives. He stressed the need for concerted efforts for grounding investments of ₹7 lakh crore garnered in the last nine months.
