The first meeting of the new Andhra Pradesh Cabinet led by Chief Minister Nara Chandrababu Naidu is set to take place on June 24, Monday. This meeting holds significant importance as it will delve into major issues that have been at the forefront of the state’s agenda.
Right from the outset, Naidu has emphasized the importance of fulfilling the poll promises made to the public. The restart of the Amaravati capital works, along with progress on the Polavaram project and the disbursement of hiked social security pensions from July 1, are among the key topics to be addressed in the meeting. Additionally, the state government under Naidu’s leadership is gearing up to release white papers on various departments to provide transparency and inform the public about the current situations.
The upcoming cabinet meeting, scheduled to be held at 10 am in the First Block of the Secretariat at Velagapudi, Amaravati, will see discussions on five crucial files signed by Naidu. These files pertain to significant matters such as the mega District Selection Committee (DSC), increase in social security pensions, withdrawal of the AP Land Title Act, revival of Anna Canteens, and conducting a skill census. The ratification of these decisions by the cabinet is essential before they can be implemented.
Furthermore, the focus of the cabinet meeting will extend to the Polavaram project and the situation in Amaravati. Naidu’s personal oversight on these critical projects underscores his commitment to driving progress and development in the state. The revival of construction works in Polavaram and the initiation of capital construction efforts in Amaravati are key components of the agenda.
Moreover, the cabinet is expected to touch upon the issues surrounding the volunteer system and the promise made by Naidu to double the honorarium for volunteers to Rs 10,000 per month. The government’s plan to change the names of certain welfare schemes also hints at a broader discussion on social welfare measures and program enhancements.
Overall, the first cabinet meeting of Naidu’s tenure as Chief Minister sets the tone for governance in Andhra Pradesh. With a comprehensive agenda covering diverse sectors and social welfare initiatives, the decisions taken in this meeting are likely to shape the state’s trajectory for the foreseeable future.
