MLA Badeti Radha Krishnayya outlines vision for Eluru’s comprehensive development under Swarna Andhra-2047

Eluru MLA Badeti Radha Krishnayya (Chanti) has urged officials to work with commitment and coordination to ensure the holistic development of the Eluru constituency. 

Chairing a review meeting at his local camp office on Thursday as part of the ‘Good Governance – First Step’ initiative, the MLA reviewed key State-level programmes such as Swarna Andhra-2047 and P4, with various department heads and administrative officers.

Speaking at the event, Mr. Radha Krishnayya said that the government has laid out a comprehensive roadmap to position Andhra Pradesh as a leading State in India by 2029 and among the top globally by 2047. In line with this, a targeted action plan is being implemented in the Eluru constituency with an annual growth objective of 15%.

The MLA emphasised the need to focus on growth in agriculture and allied sectors, industry, and services. He stressed the importance of creating employment and livelihood opportunities for the youth of Eluru by attracting industries and supporting entrepreneurship.

Given the presence of several engineering colleges in and around Eluru, he proposed the establishment of a Skill Development College to provide industry-relevant training. He also instructed officials to draft proposals for an MSME park in the district to further boost local economic activity.

The MLA urged officials to expedite works under the AMRUT 2.0 scheme, particularly the construction of a sewage treatment plant and enhancement of drinking water sources. Under the P4 scheme, he reiterated that improving the living standards of the poor remains the primary goal. He directed that ‘Bangaru Kutumbalu’ (golden families) identified in the constituency be integrated with designated mentors to ensure targeted economic upliftment.
