Visakhapatnam News: AP CM and Deputy CM Take Direct Governance to the People

In a strong show of people-centric governance that is making news, Andhra Pradesh’s top leadership, Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu and Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan, are stepping up efforts to connect directly with rural parts of Visakhapatnam, each in their own way.

CM Chandrababu Naidu is scheduled to visit Paderu, the district headquarters of Alluri Sitarama Raju district, on May 31. During his visit, he will officially launch the social pension distribution for the month of June and is expected to unveil a series of development initiatives.

Among them is the revival and expansion of coffee cultivation across 1 lakh acres in tribal regions, aimed at improving livelihoods and sustainable farming. The CM is also likely to announce a new policy to replace the Government Order No. 3.

Meanwhile, Deputy CM Pawan Kalyan is blending technology and tradition through his new “Maata-Manthi” initiative, a video conferencing outreach program that takes place inside village theatres. On May 21, Pawan Kalyan interacted with around 300 villagers from Ravivalasa in Srikakulam district, addressing their issues in real-time from his office.
