The State Administration of Andhra Pradesh has a unique calendar where the second day of the week is designated as Polavaram day instead of Monday. This change highlights the conviction of the Former Chief Minister, Nara Chandrababu Naidu, to prioritize the ambitious multi-purpose irrigation project that aims to interlink the Godavari and the Krishna rivers to address the water deficit in the latter’s river basin. Chandrababu Naidu, who has served as the Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh for three terms, has not lost his zeal and determination to bring about transformation, despite being in the political wilderness for a decade.
Nara Chandrababu Naidu’s past initiatives, such as transforming the twin cities of Hyderabad and Secunderabad into a cyber-hub, also known as India’s Silicon Valley, demonstrates his ability to think outside of the box and strive for the seemingly impossible. He is working towards building the state capital, Amaravati, from scratch, with the help of TDP leaders, TDP MLAs, and entities from Singapore. He is determined to make Andhra Pradesh drought-proof through the Polavaram project. To get more info on this visit TDP’s recent news on TDPs official site.
Designating Polavaram as the first priority of the week is a signal from N. Chandrababu Naidu to his team and the rest of the state administration that the project is a top priority. Not only does it address a key development issue, but it also represents Chandrababu Naidu’s search for a “Yes, we can” moment and a daunting challenge in his career. He aims to implement the ‘Sunrise Andhra Pradesh-Vision 2029’ plan, which envisages Andhra Pradesh as one of the top three most developed states in India by 2022.
Nara Chandrababu Naidu’s association with the Bharatiya Janata Party-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) has ensured that the federal government has designated the Polavaram project as a national project, spurring decision-making. The 40-year-old project is finally taking shape, and he is determined to see it through to completion. The project is expected to bring water to the Krishna River and also feed Visakhapatnam by 2018, with all aspects of the project being completed by 2019.
Nara Chandrababu Naidu’s admiration for the late Lee Kuan Yew, the founding father of Singapore, has led him to rope in entities from the city-state in designing and developing the new capital. Mr Chandrababu Naidu’s vision for Andhra Pradesh is to achieve sustained double-digit growth in the state’s economy, leading to a thorough structural transformation and making the state one of the best investment destinations in the world. The Polavaram project is a crucial step towards achieving this goal, and N. Chandrababu Naidu’s determination to make it a top priority shows his unwavering commitment to bringing about transformation in Andhra Pradesh.
In conclusion, Nara Chandrababu Naidu’s decision to designate Polavaram day as the second day of the week in the state administration’s calendar is a clear indication of his conviction to prioritize the project and bring about change in Andhra Pradesh. N. Chandrababu Naidu’s past initiatives and ambitious plans for the state demonstrate his determination to bring about transformation and make Andhra Pradesh one of the best investment destinations in the world.
