Andhra Pradesh CM Naidu vows to make State ‘Knowledge hub’
Chief Minister says the government is in the process of preparing 'Swarnandhra Pradesh Vision-2047' based on ten principles
Visakhapatnam: Andhra Pradesh government is moving with a goal to make the State a “Knowledge hub” by leveraging the emerging technologies such as AI, asserting that technologies are part of life, Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu said.
Describing Prime Minister Narendra Modi as a visionary, he said the country is fortunate to have such a PM who is promoting information technology in a big way and has built a brand for Indians globally.
“I want to make Andhra Pradesh a knowledge hub. Historical information we have on the cloud, Artificial Intelligence is matured and real time information you can collect through various devices,” he said, while addressing DeepTech/GovTech Innovation Conclave 2024.
Naidu said the government is in the process of preparing ‘Swarnandhra Pradesh Vision-2047’ based on ten principles such as ‘zero poverty, P4 approach (public-private-people-partnership)’ and others, under which the state is aiming to achieve a growth rate of 15 per cent annually. We are monitoring everything in real time,” he said.
According to Naidu, the earlier population was a liability, and now it has become an asset. He further said people talk about job losses with the implementation of technologies whereas it will create wealth, thereby, more avenues for employment generation.
The Andhra government is offering more incentives to industries which create more jobs, he added. On green energy initiatives, the CM said Andhra Pradesh is democratising power generation and the government will act as a facilitator with the ultimate aim of making 100 per cent green energy in the State.
