AP Leaders Direct Funds, Rural Development
The Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh, N Chandrababu Naidu, and Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan have told officials to use all the remaining central government money by January 15, 2026.
They also want them to work hard to help villages and tribal areas.
The Chief Minister is going to visit districts unexpectedly to check how well the officials are doing.
He wants them to work faster and better, especially in fixing problems that people have.
The state has a lot of money from the central government for different projects, but not all of it has been used.
Some projects, like schools and housing, need more attention to spend the money properly.
The Deputy Chief Minister praised the collectors for their work in building roads, helping farmers, and cleaning up villages.
He also mentioned that Andhra Pradesh is doing very well in training people for village work.
The Chief Minister is worried because the state needs money, but it's not using the money it already has.
A union minister has promised more money, but only if the state uses the current funds first.
The Chief Minister wants everyone to work together to spend the money before the deadline and make people happier with the services they get.
Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu directed officials to utilize all unutilized Central funds by January 15, 2026.
Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan urged district collectors to accelerate rural and tribal development, highlighting successful projects like Palle Panduga 1.0 and Adavi Thalli Bata.
The state is implementing 75 Centrally Sponsored Schemes (CSS) with a total central allocation of ₹15,173 crore and a state contribution of ₹9,340 crore.
Four major schemes requiring immediate attention include Samagra Shiksha, PMAY Urban, Flexible Pool for Health System Strengthening, and Rashtriya Krishi Vikas Yojana.
Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan assured an additional allocation of ₹1,200 crore, contingent on the utilization of current funds by the deadline.
