Vijayawada:Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu has called for a focused approach to developing an integrated model township under the Andhra Pradesh-Singapore partnership.
At the third joint implementation steering committee meeting on the implementation of the MoU between AP and Singapore, Naidu met a 14-member Singapore delegation led by its minister Gan Siow Huang in Amaravati on Wednesday.
The Singapore minister appreciated the progress of collaborative initiatives in the state and Naidu’s vision for its development.
Naidu informed the delegation that the state had set a target of completing the Amaravati capital city works and the Polavaram project by March 2027. The government had also drawn up plans to generate 160gw of renewable energy and establish hubs in quantum computing, semiconductors, space and drone technologies.
Highlighting the state’s disaster response capabilities, he said 30,000 electricity poles had been restored within four days of the recent cyclone.
He said the state government had prepared an action plan for civil services reforms and seven district collectors would take part in a six-day training programme.
Naidu stressed the need for both sides to work in close coordination and devote adequate time to implementing the partnership. He called for clearly defined milestones and suggested reviewing progress once every six months.
As part of the future roadmap, he directed officials to prepare two priority-based action plans, one up to March 2027 and the other up to March 2028.
Naidu said the Andhra Pradesh-Singapore partnership would help bring global best practices closer to the people of the state.
