Vision 2020
Vision 2020
"Our vision of Andhra Pradesh is of a state where poverty is totally eradicated; where every man, woman and child has access to not just the basic minimum needs, but to all the opportunities to lead a happy and fulfilling life; a knowledge and learning society built on the values of hard work, honesty, discipline and a collective sense of purpose."
- N.Chandrababu Naidu,
- President - TDP
It was during the leadership of Shri.Chandrababu Naidu, that an ambitious mission for the progress and prosperity of Andhra Pradesh was envisaged through the Vision 2020 programme. It is a holistically conceived scientific strategy to ultimately create a prosperous and powerful state.
By the year 2020, it would succeed in giving every individual a comfortable and productive life, opportunities to learn fulfilling the mission of 100% literacy in the state, develop skills, eradicate poverty and inequalities that continue to exist in our state.
To achieve the goals of all-round social development, Vision 2020 has set the following mission parameters:
* Eradicate poverty and take care of its old, infirm and genuinely needy
* Enable its people to learn, earn and lead healthy and productive lives
* Promote small families for a healthy and wealthy society
* Give its children a happy childhood and every opportunity to achieve their full potential
* Empower and support its women and girls to fulfill their roles as equals with the men in the economy and society
* Create the resources its people will need, such as capital and infrastructure, to transform their own futures
* Enable its farmers, entrepreneurs, and professionals to make agriculture flourish and build thriving industries and service businesses
* Embrace innovation and the latest know-how to grow crops, make its goods and provide high quality services
* Safeguard its environment and make its villages and cities clean, green and safe to live in
* Make its government simple, transparent, accountable and responsive
* Ensure that its people continue to have a strong voice and role in the governance of their state
This holistic enabling would be made possible through a three-fold approach:
1) Building capabilities, i.e., developing human resources, improving the quality of life in the state and attracting investment in the economy.
To achieve this, Andhra Pradesh through the Telugu Desam government, had taken up various initiatives when it was in power during 1995 – 2003, like:
» Janmabhoomi programmes,
» Velugu for the eradication of poverty,
» Neeru-Meeru for helping preserve and proactively contributing towards recharging ground water levels
» Pacchadanam-Parishubram (Clean and Green) for sustainable environment, habitable cities and villages, effective rural and urban civic services self help groups like DWCRA and setting up of committees to monitor programmes designed to provide drinking water supply, education through Vidya Volunteers and the recruitment of teachers and personality development.
Welfare programmes like
Roshni, Aadharana, Mundadugu, Chaitanyam and Cheyutha have been implemented for Schedule castes, Girijans, Backward classes, minorities, women and handicapped, as a safety net for the vulnerable sections of the society. Other programmes include homes for the weaker sections, Raithu Mitra for agriculture-farmers welfare, Animal husbandry development, forest development, and land development.
To improve the infrastructure in the state, development programmes in highways and ports, civil supplies, Andhra Pradesh road transport corporation, power and energy were taken up to contribute to growth of the economy.
2) Focusing on high-potential sectors as its engines of growth:
To stimulate economic growth the state would focus on specific sectors that offer high growth opportunities and contribute a sizeable part to the state's GSDP (Gross State Domestic Product) and employment opportunities.
» Rice, poultry, diary, horticulture, agro industry and fisheries in agriculture
» Construction, mining-based industries, labour intensive export
oriented industries (like garments and leather products)
pharmaceuticals, small scale industry and infrastructure in industries
» Basic information technology services, knowledge-based services,
logistics, tourism, small-scale services, healthcare and education in services.
3) Transforming Governance:
Driving the concept of Good Governance by channeling the government's efforts into enabling and facilitating economic growth, through administrative reforms and innovations like e-Seva. The core idea is to provide a clean, capable and transparent government that facilitates, not just controls, economic development.
