State ministers highlighted that the progress seen in Veligonda reflects the development agenda set by Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu.
Veligonda, a hilly tract in the western part of Andhra Pradesh, has become a showcase for the development blueprint championed by Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu, according to senior state ministers. The officials pointed to recent infrastructure upgrades, improved road connectivity and irrigation initiatives that have transformed the once‑remote area into a growing hub of activity.
The ministers emphasized that these projects are directly aligned with Naidu’s long‑term vision of integrating remote regions into the state’s economic mainstream. By extending power supply, enhancing water resources and promoting agro‑based industries, the administration aims to raise living standards and curb migration from the hills.
While the improvements are still unfolding, the officials said Veligonda now serves as a tangible example of how policy intent is being translated into on‑ground results. They urged continued monitoring to ensure that the momentum is maintained and that the benefits reach the local communities.
The statements were made during a press briefing in Hyderabad, where the ministers reiterated the government’s commitment to replicating Veligonda’s model in other underserved districts across the state.
