Andhra Pradesh Goes Digital to Deliver Inclusive Growth

“What gets measured gets managed”, so goes the quote from Peter Drucker, the globally renowned management guru. Andhra Pradesh’s CM Chandrababu Naidu has internalised the saying. Right from the CM’s realtime dashboard viz., CORE, tracking which, the CM starts the day, to the exhaustive survey of the state’s 4.5 cr population on more than 70 datapoints, and also having a subtly layered enterprise architecture framework to deliver e-governance services, the recently bifurcated state, seems to be in a hurry to race past other states in delivering ICT enabled governance.

The state recently topped the ease of doing business chart in India and the ‘Single Desk Portal’ can claim a good part of the credit. According to a news report, In the last 1.5 years AP has been able to clear close to 11,000 proposals. The state is in the process of evaluating 357 projects to the tune of ̀ 4.5 lakh crore, which can create upto 7 lakh jobs. 

Chandrababu Naidu recently urged the Centre to first start the e-Governance and IT related projects in Andhra Pradesh as the state has already developed necessary infrastructure for its implementation. Instead of laying underground cables, under the AP Fibre Grid project, the state has partnered with Cisco to overlay broadband cables on electricity poles. The optic fibre cables have reached 9000 gram panchayats. The Single File System under the e-Office project is a mammoth work in progress with the objective to convert every government file in a digital form.

Swarnandhra mission 2029

By 2022, Andhra Pradesh envisions to become one of the top three high performing states in India and by 2029, under the Swarnandhra mission, the aim is to become the best state by 2029. The Government of Andhra Pradesh as part of Swarnandhra Vision - 2029 has constituted seven missions namely : 1) Primary Sector,

2) Social Empowerment
