Take pledge to make Seemandhra as “Swarnandhra”: AP CS

Hyderabad, June 4 The Government of Andhra Pradesh is seriously considering establishment of a Systematic Monitoring & Review System (SMRS) by utilising latest Information & Communication technologies to achieve the desired goals of public welfare schemes. This will in turn pave the way in ensuring that the fruits of development reach each & every beneficiary, Andhra Pradesh Chief Secretary IYR Krishna Rao said.

“It is high time for the administrative machinery to take up path breaking initiatives to expedite implementation of welfare and developmental schemes for the benefit of the common man,” he said.

Krishna Rao told top officials that since power sector is the base for all-round progress of the State, we are also keen to implement the best practices available across the globe to enhance Energy Efficiency in the field of Generation, Transmission & Distribution. This will go a long way in improving the economy and providing satisfactory services to the people.

In view of the bifurcation of the state, the administration will face some major challenges in the form of development of new capital on par with global cities, industrial and infrastructure establishment, additional power generation, timely completion of major irrigation projects etc. Every department, including power sector, shall come up with clear cut Action Plan with feasible and practical solutions.

Since Chief Minister Designate Nara Chandrababu Naidu is very keen on achieving time-bound results, all the officials and employees should rise to the occasion and put relentless efforts with zeal & enthusiasm in making Andhra Pradesh a role model in the country.

“We the public servants have a huge potentiality to face any challenges at any moment and the focus should essentially be public welfare activities. For us there is no other business except for ensuring effective implementation of all schemes. Each and every rupee spent by the Govt. should reach the last mile for which an effective delivery mechanism is a must. There are of course some severe constraints, but they are not insurmountable,” he said.

The Chief Secretary further added that, “we shall venture ahead from the day one itself and take pledge to strive hard to make Seemandhra as Swarnandhra as desired by the Chief Minister.”  INN
