He said that the State’s journey towards development is not only about economic growth but also about improving the quality of life for its citizens.
Andhra Pradesh, being strategically located on the eastern coast of India, has the advantage of long coastline connectivity, fertile agricultural land, and a skilled workforce. Mr. Nadda emphasized that these strengths position the State as a future hub for trade, industry, and technology.
Investments in Infrastructure
Infrastructure development remains a major priority for both the Centre and the State. Mr. Nadda stated that the expansion of national highways, ports, airports, and rail connectivity will accelerate economic activity. The ongoing work at Visakhapatnam, Krishnapatnam, and other ports is expected to enhance the State’s role in global trade.
He also referred to the development of smart cities, modernization of urban facilities, and rural road connectivity under schemes like Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY) as significant steps towards inclusive growth.
Focus on Agriculture and Farmers’ Welfare
Acknowledging the role of agriculture in Andhra Pradesh’s economy, Mr. Nadda said that the farmers of the State are among the most hardworking in India, and their contribution to food production is immense. The government is focusing on modern farming techniques, irrigation projects, and crop diversification to increase productivity and farmers’ income.
He also mentioned schemes such as PM-Kisan Samman Nidhi, crop insurance, and soil health initiatives that have benefited lakhs of farmers in Andhra Pradesh. The Polavaram irrigation project, considered a lifeline for the State, was highlighted as a milestone in ensuring water security and boosting agriculture.
Industrial Growth and Job Creation
Mr. Nadda stressed that Andhra Pradesh is fast emerging as a preferred destination for industries, especially in pharmaceuticals, textiles, electronics, and IT sectors. The State’s special economic zones, industrial corridors, and skill development programs are expected to attract both domestic and foreign investors.
The BJP national president said that job creation for youth remains a priority. Training centers, start-up incubation hubs, and digital learning platforms are being promoted to ensure that young people are ready to take up opportunities in the global job market.
Social Welfare and Inclusive Growth
Alongside economic policies, Mr. Nadda spoke about the importance of social justice and welfare schemes. He listed the benefits of government programs such as Ayushman Bharat health insurance, free housing schemes, Ujjwala Yojana for women, and scholarships for students.
According to him, these welfare measures are not only reducing poverty but also creating a more inclusive society where every citizen gets a fair opportunity to progress.
