The Andhra Pradesh government has announced that 28 district councils will become operational on September 25, aiming to strengthen local governance.
The state government of Andhra Pradesh has decided to bring 28 additional Zilla Parishads into effect on September 25. These district councils, which are key components of the Panchayati Raj system, will oversee local administration and development initiatives. The move is part of a broader effort to decentralise governance and improve service delivery at the district level. Officials say the new councils will work closely with district collectors and other state agencies to implement schemes and monitor progress. The activation is expected to enhance transparency and accountability in local governance across the state.
