‘A.P. registered a growth of 13.7% in the first half of the current fiscal’
Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy has urged bankers to extend their support to the State government in its endeavour to tide over the COVID pandemic and its plans to bring in revolutionary changes in education, health, women empowerment and other sectors.
He wanted the banks to extend loans to the tune of ₹9,000 crore for setting up teaching and nursing colleges in the State. Mr. Jagan said that the 2.70 lakh volunteers force would help the bankers in bringing down their non-performing assets (NPAs).

The Karnataka government has drafted a comprehensive master plan for the integrated development of Kukke Subrahmanya temple, the State’s highest revenue-generating temple managed by the Hindu Religious Institutions and Charitable Endowments Department. The redevelopment initiative is estimated to cost around ₹254 crore and aims to enhance infrastructure and facilities for devotees.
