'Quantum Valley Driven By AI & Tech': Chandrababu Naidu Outlines Ambitious Roadmap For Amravati
In an exclusive interview with Network18, the Andhra Pradesh CM described Amravati as a greenfield city with immense potential. Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu outlined his roadmap for the state, centering on two transformative ideas: the greenfield development of Amaravati into a world-class knowledge and innovation hub, and the implementation of a new development framework called the P4 model — Public-Private-People Partnership. ' India is capable. One must have a mega vision," Naidu said in an exclusive interview with Network18's Zakka Jacob, reflecting on how he once built Hyderabad's IT ecosystem from scratch. Naidu now wants to transform Amaravati into India's first 'Quantum Valley" — a hub driven by artificial intelligence and advanced technologies. Describing it as a greenfield city with immense potential, Naidu said it will host knowledge and service industries across sectors, supported by strong urban ecosystems in Vijayawada, Guntur, and Tenali. Already, premier institutions like SRM University, BITS Pilani, and XLRI have been earmarked for the new capital. Naidu plans to educate five lakh students in Amaravati, making it not just a knowledge city but also a global destination for sports, tourism, and business. 'I will create world-class infrastructure through the PPP model," he said, clarifying that no state money would be used. 'Just as I did in Hyderabad, land value and creative financing will be enough to drive infrastructure development." Addressing concerns over fiscal burden and freebies, Naidu stressed that 'any politician must first create wealth before spending it." For sustainable development, he is introducing economic categorisation based on Aadhaar-verified household data, mapping assets and liabilities at the family level to ensure more targeted welfare. Naidu's second big push is the P4 model. 'Money alone won't help," he said. 'Handholding and timely guidance are key. Each Marg Darshak will mentor ten others." This bottom-up model of empowerment, he said, will strengthen community-level development and reduce dependency on government schemes. With a focus on nation-building, economic participation, and self-reliance, Naidu believes Amaravati and the P4 model together can position Andhra Pradesh as a model state by 2047. 'This is not just about development—this is about transformation," he concluded. First Published: June 09, 2025, 13:01 IST

Complete land allotments in all MSME parks in 30 days, Minister tells APIIC
Andhra Pradesh Minister for MSME, SERP, and NRI Empowerment and Relations Kondapalli Srinivas on Thursday reviewed the status of the proposed 175 MSME Parks across the State with focus on accelerating land allotment and infrastructure development. APIIC VC & MD Abhishikt Kishore and other senior officials participated in the meeting held at the APIIC headquarters in Mangalagiri. Mr. Srinivas directed the APIIC to complete land allotments in all the MSME parks within 30 days, urging immediate support to entrepreneurs. He emphasised fast-tracking the process in the 11 parks already inaugurated, and mandated biweekly progress review meetings. To ensure transparency and effective monitoring, the officials were instructed to submit updates every 15 days and maintain a detailed tracker outlining each park's status with specific timelines. In a move to make land affordable, the Minister encouraged the APIIC to seek financial support under the Ministry of MSME's MSE-CDP scheme, which could significantly reduce land costs for entrepreneurs. He also urged officials to explore the Public-Private-People Partnership (P4) model to enhance private sector participation in park development. The meeting reflected the government's commitment to boosting industrial growth and job creation by strengthening the MSME ecosystem across the State.

NTR implements P4 model for uplift of poor with donor support
VIJAYAWADA: In a first-of-its-kind initiative in Andhra Pradesh, the NTR district administration has successfully implemented Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu's Public-Private-People Partnership (P-4) model by engaging donors to support underprivileged families. Under the leadership of NTR District Collector G Lakshmisha, who played a key role in coordinating efforts, several companies have come forward to adopt and assist 'Bangaru Kutumbalu' (Golden Families). On Tuesday, donors from Crux Biotech, Sentini Bioproducts, a local plywood company, and Amba Coach Builders provided essential livelihood tools during a programme held at Muppalla village. Crux Biotech donated an auto to Pagadal Ratnakumar, while Sentini Bioproducts gifted another to Kondru Venkat Ravamma's family. Sewing machines were given to Uppelli Naga Jyothi, Bobba Srilakshmi, and Bolndi Sirisha, among others. Additionally, Amba Coach Builders issued job offer letters to two individuals, and nine more received medical kits. The initiative follows Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu's visit to Muppalla on April 5, where he promised housing and livelihood support to the family of Venkataravamma. Acting on the CM's instructions, Collector Lakshmisha and Nandigama MLA visited the village and fulfilled the assurances, while extending help to other families as well. Speaking at the event, the Collector described P-4 as a transformative model capable of alleviating poverty through collective effort. He said the initiative will continue until 96,000 families across NTR District benefit from the scheme.

Collector urges more individuals, MSMEs to participate in P4 initiative
NTR District Collector G. Lakshmisha highlighted the importance of providing financial assistance to financially backward families at the implementation of P4 (Public-Private-People Partnership) Zero Poverty initiative at Muppalla village in NTR district on Tuesday. He said: 'Continuous support will ensure their financial stability.' During the event, the Collector along with Nandigama MLA Thangirala Sowmya distributed medicines, medical kits, autorickshaws, and sewing machines to the beneficiaries on behalf of the four margadarsis —Sentini BioProducts and Crux Bio-tech India Pvt. Ltd gave an auto to two families, Amba Coach Builders Pvt. Ltd gave job offer letters to a couple, and a plywood company, provided sewing machines to six families. The Collector expressed hope that in the future four lakh individuals would be inspired by the initiative. He emphasised that the programme aims to support and handhold 96,000 families in the district until they achieve financial stability. He urged Micro Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME) to participate in the initiative, which differs from Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). The Collector explained that the initiative does not stop at providing financial assistance to a golden family (bangaru kutumbham) or a poor family. Mentors must ensure that the families come out of poverty and have enough means to sustain themselves. He said: 'Those receiving aid today should become margadarsis to another family in the future, which is the goal of the initiative, launched by Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu.'
