AP Budget Speech 2023-24 EM

Speech of
Sri Buggana Rajendranath

Minister for Finance
March 16, 2023
Hon’ble Speaker Sir,
With your permission, I rise to present the Budget for

the State of Andhra Pradesh for the year 2023-24.
About a century ago, Gurudev Ravindranath Tagore

wrote,
“Where the mind is led forward by thee

into ever-widening thought and action,
into that heaven of freedom,
my Father, let my country awake”
2. This thought is a powerful call for action and an

assertion of belief in achievable change. These emotions
resonate in our hearts even today because it is the very nature
of humankind to be forever in the quest for a better world.
The final phrase, “let my country awake”, could quite easily
be replaced with, “let the world awake” because it is about
universal aspirations. In concert with the virtue of how we
might act in the interests of others, these words become a
great source of inspiration and motivation. It is this spirit to
overcome all odds, and the will to triumph over unprecedented
1
challenges, that keeps us moving forward and improve the
world we live in.
3. History also tells us that communities around the world

which responded effectively and collectively to any crisis, have
emerged stronger. Andhra Pradesh is a shining example. As a
State, we had to begin our journey afresh in 2014 on all fronts.
And while still coping with the challenges of bifurcation, we
bravely battled the COVID-19 pandemic, which we faced not
only as a global health crisis; but as a catalyst for reimagining
the way we want to live and protect our people going forward.
From health care to sustainable development, the government
has converted every crisis into plentiful opportunities to move
away from the status quo and make positive changes in the
lives of people.
4. In the post pandemic world, the two concepts that

have gained increasing prominence around the world are
Sustainable Development Goals and Good Governance. The
two are inter-related and universal aspirations.
5. With sustainability as the guiding principle of life, we

firmly believe that the achievement of the 17 Sustainable
Development Goals (SDGs) is profoundly dependent on strong
political leadership, good policies, effective institutions, and
outcome-based governance. Sustainable development leads
to good governance which is accountable, transparent,
2
responsive, equitable and inclusive. On the other hand, good
governance is required for institutionalizing sustainable
development. Strong institutions are the bedrocks of real
implementation of these goals on the ground. Our government
has been doing just that.
6. These principles are pivotal to the functioning of the

government, which is blessed with the visionary leadership,
able administration, and meticulous management of Hon’ble
Chief Minister Sri. Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy garu. I quote a
couple of lines from the famous poem “If-” written by English
writer and poet Rudyard Kipling.
“If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster

And treat those two impostors just the same…
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,

Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch”
-Rudyard Kipling
7. These lines are a true tribute to the Hon’ble Chief

Minister. In him we see an acknowledgment that, while you
cannot always prevent bad things from happening, you can
deal with them in a good way. In other words, be magnanimous
in success and victory, and be resolute in times of difficulty
and adversity.
3
8. Innovations in policy and radically new governance
models are the distinctive attributes of our government. Our
government has adopted an all-inclusive approach towards
achieving the 2030 SDG targets through development programs
designed as the Navaratnalu and other Manifesto schemes.
9. It is the combination of the principles of Sustainable

Development and Good Governance that has been the hallmark
of our manifesto too, which we implemented almost entirely in
the very first year of our governance itself, despite the
disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and numerous
other challenges. In fact, the government in many ways has
gone beyond its manifesto commitments.
10. In a span of less than four years, the path breaking

governance approach has resulted in establishment of 15,004
village & ward secretariats; recruitment of 1.34 lakh employees;
positioning of 2.65 lakh volunteers; bringing 51,488 APSRTC
employees into the government fold; upgradation of 15,715
schools; completion of 3,707 YSR Village Health Clinics and
461 YSR Urban Health Clinics; distribution of 30.65 lakh house
site pattas; construction of 4.4 lakh houses; providing financial
assistance to 44.49 lakh mothers annually through Jagananna
Ammavodi; distribution of 5.2 lakh e-learning devices (TABs);
introduction of English medium education with CBSE
affiliation; total fees reimbursement of Rs.9,249 crore under
4
Jagananna Vidya Deevana; reimbursement of Rs.19,137 crore
of SHG loans under YSR Asara; disbursement of a financial
assistance of Rs.14,129 crore under YSR Cheyutha;
disbursement of Rs.2,470 crore loans under Jagananna Thodu;
coverage of 1.41 crore families under Dr. YSR Arogyasri;
providing Rs.971 crore as financial assistance under Dr. YSR
Arogya Aasara; establishment of 56 community welfare
corporations; establishment of 10,778 Rythu Bharosa Kendras;
expansion of the fleet of 104 ambulances; enhancement of
welfare pensions to Rs.2,750 per month, and many such
interventions.
11. Further, one may look at the paradigm shift in the

delivery mechanism of welfare measures. By effectively using
technology, the government directly credits the entitlements
into the bank accounts of all beneficiaries in the State under
21 different schemes. Our government has released Rs.1.97
lakh crore to implement DBT schemes. The sheer extent and
impact of this delivery mechanism has made the DBT model
of Andhra Pradesh an excellent method which ensures that
welfare measures are delivered to the deserving groups in the
most hassle free, transparent, and effective manner, plugging
leakages completely.
5
GSDP Growth
12. During 2018-19, Andhra Pradesh ranked 22nd in the

country with respect to growth of GSDP at constant prices.
Owing to the enabling policies of our Government, the State
economy got the necessary impetus, driving both investments
and consumption. As a result, Andhra Pradesh ranked 1st in
the country in terms of growth of GDSP at constant prices for
the year 2021-22, registering a healthy growth rate of 11.43%.
These numbers indicate that the support provided by our
government during the pandemic was effective in providing
resilience to the State economy and enabled to register the
highest growth rate in the last five years. It also shows that
while the commitments of the government have been met under
extremely challenging circumstances, the government has
prioritised & safeguarded the financial stability & the growth
prospects of the State.
13. The revised estimates indicate that the GSDP would

be Rs.13,17,728 crore in 2022-23. The GSDP is projected to
be Rs.14,49,501 crore in the year 2023-24 having a growth of
10%.
14. The convergence of Navaratnalu and Manifesto

schemes with SDGs is elucidated through four pillars, namely,
6
(A) Livelihood Support, (B) Human Capacity Building &
Empowerment, (C) Social Security, and (D) Infrastructure &
Industrial Development.
15. I now proceed to present the proposed budgetary

allocations for 2023-24, covering all programs and SDGs across
the four themes.
A. Livelihood Support
16. Agriculture and allied activities are the mainstay of our

economy as about 62% of the people are engaged in this sector.
Hence, our government’s unwavering focus has been on
enhancing the productivity and incomes in this sector through
programs like, YSR Rythu Bharosa-PM KISAN, Dr.YSR Free
Crop Insurance- PMFBY, Dr.YSR Sunna Vaddi Panta Runalu,
Dr. YSR Rythu Bharosa Kendralu, Dr. YSR Agri Testing Labs,
Dr. YSR Polambadi, input subsidy and farm mechanization.
Dr.YSR Rythu Bharosa-PM KISAN
“Cultivators of the earth are the

most valuable citizens.
They are the most vigorous, the most

independent, and the most virtuous”
-Thomas Jefferson

Nelanu nammukunna rythula vrutti dharmanni
shrama vedamga bhavinche prabhutvam idi.
Rythu lenide rajyam ledani gundela ninda
viswasinche prabhutvam idi.
17. The timely financial assistance of Rs.13,500 through

YSR Rythu Bharosa scheme in three instalments including
PM-KISAN component is helping farmers purchase agricultural
inputs during May, harvest their crops during October and
undertake other agricultural activities during January. A
financial assistance of Rs.13,500 is also being provided to
tenant and ROFR farmer families, entirely from the state budget
to ensure that actual cultivators are benefitted. Since the
inception of the scheme, an amount of Rs.27,063 crore has
been credited into the farmer families accounts through DBT
mode. I propose to allocate an amount of Rs.4,020 crore for
YSR Rythu Bharosa for the year 2023-24 to benefit 52.38
lakh farmer families including tenants and ROFR farmers.
“The farmer is the only man in our economy
who buys everything at retail,
sells everything at wholesale, and pays the
freight both ways.”
-John F. Kennedy

18. Dr.YSR Rythu Bharosa Kendralu are serving the
farmers as one stop centres, right from the supply of pre-
tested quality agriculture inputs to the procurement of farm
produce at village level. About 7 lakh quintals of certified and
subsidised crop seeds worth of Rs.187 crore were distributed
to about 12 lakh farmers during 2022-23. The beneficial impact
of RBKs has been praised by the Food and Agriculture
Organisation of the United Nations, NITI Aayog as well as the
RBI. I propose to allocate an amount of Rs.40.46 crore for
construction of the remaining 7,578 RBKs in the year
2023-24.
19. Our government had inaugurated 72 Dr. YSR Agri

Testing Labs on 8th July 2021 for quality testing of agricultural
inputs. Andhra Pradesh is the first state in the country to
have these many Agri-testing facilities serving the farmers.
The provision of assured quality seeds, fertilizers, and
pesticides, has enhanced production and productivity by
efficient use of resources. Another 75 Agri Testing Labs at
constituency level and 11 labs at District level will be functional
from Kharif 2023. I propose to allocate an amount of Rs.36.39
crore for Dr. YSR Agri Testing labs for the year 2023-24.
20. Modernisation of agricultural practices is another focus

area of our schemes. Through Dr. YSR Polambadi, our
government is empowering the farmers in Integrated Crop
9
Management techniques to achieve reduction in cost of
cultivation, increase in crop yields and adoption of eco-friendly
organic farming. In 2021-22, about 16,123 Polambadi sessions
were organised. Cost of cultivation was reduced up to 21%
and yields reported an increase up to 23% in case of various
crops. For the year 2023-24, another 17,000 Polambadi
sessions will be organized.
21. Our government introduced the Dr. YSR Free Crop

Insurance scheme from Kharif 2019 covering all farmers
growing notified crops in the notified areas after mapping of e-
Crop and e-KYC. It is a matter of pride that Andhra Pradesh is
the only state in the country which is implementing free crop
insurance while assuring universal coverage in a transparent,
unique, and efficient manner. Since the inception of the
scheme, insurance claims amount of Rs.6,872 crores has been
settled to 44.55 lakh farmers accounts through DBT, which
also includes the dues of previous government. I propose to
allocate an amount of Rs.1,600 crore for Dr.YSR Free Crop
Insurance scheme for the year 2023-24 covering an extent of
55 lakh ha of notified crops.
22. Under the YSR Sunna Vaddi Panta Runalu scheme,

interest free crop loans up to 1 lakh are provided to farmers
who repay their loans in time. From 2020-21, the interest
subsidy claim amount is credited directly into the eligible
10
farmers’ bank accounts instead of releasing to the banks.
Since inception, an amount of Rs.1,834 crores has been
credited to 73.88 lakh farmer accounts through DBT mode,
including the dues of the previous government. I propose to
allocate an amount of Rs.500 crore for the year 2023-24
towards YSR Sunna Vaddi Panta Runalu which will benefit 33
lakh farmers.
23. Agriculture Marketing & Price Stabilisation Fund:

The government had established the ‘e Farmarket’, a digital
marketing platform to connect the farmers of AP with traders
in the country. The number of farmers and traders successfully
using this platform is showing an increasing trend. More than
4,000 farmers and 2,000 traders have benefitted through this
application so far. Similarly, the establishment of Price
Stabilisation Fund of Rs.3,000 crore is protecting the farmers
from selling their crops below the MSP.
24. Farm Mechanisation: Our government is taking

measures to establish 10,750 Community Hiring Centres
(CHCs) at every RBK to provide access to agriculture machinery
to small and marginal farmers on hiring mode, so that financial
burden of investment and maintenance does not fall on the
farmers. About 6,525 village level CHCs and 391 cluster level
CHCs with combined harvesters and straw balers have been
established in predominantly paddy growing areas. I propose
11
to allocate an amount of Rs.1,212 crore for the year 2023-24
for farm mechanisation.
Animal Husbandry, Dairy Development & Fisheries
"Paadi leni illu, pedaleni chenu undadhu" ani nanudi.

"Goddu vachina vela, bidda vachina vela"
which means,
our farmers give importance to livestock
equal to their children
25. Livestock is an important sector of the state economy,

contributing about 11.45% of Gross Value Added during 2021-
22. Andhra Pradesh is 1st in egg production, 2nd in meat
production and 5th in milk production in the country during
2021-22. Out of the 10,778 established RBKs, 9,844 are
sanctioned with Animal Husbandry Assistants wherein
essential medicines, equipment, livestock health care,
nutritional and general services are provided.
26. The government has approved the YSR Pasu Bhima

Padhakam to provide livestock insurance to the farmers
covering improved & indigenous as well as non-descript breeds
of animals.
27. Dr. YSR Sanchara Pasu Arogya Seva: Our

government has operationalised 340 Mobile Ambulatory
Veterinary Clinics to provide veterinary services at the doorstep
12
of farmers for the care of their animals. Further, 154
Constituency Level Animal Disease Diagnostic Centres have
been sanctioned for integration with Dr.YSR Agri labs to enable
accurate diagnosis of animal diseases and help the farmers to
save their resources while ensuring timely treatment of sick
animals.
28. Under the YSR Matsyakara Bharosa scheme, our

government has enhanced the relief during fish ban period
from Rs.4,000 to Rs.10,000; increased subsidy on diesel oil
from Rs.6 to Rs.9 per litre; and enhanced the ex-gratia to the
deceased fisherman family from Rs.5 lakh to Rs.10 lakh. Power
tariff has been reduced from Rs.6.89 to Rs.1.50 per unit
benefiting 61,682 aquaculture farmers.
29. Our government has taken up construction of 9 fishing

harbours of international standards. In the 1st phase, four
fishing harbours located at Uppada, Nizampatnam,
Machilipatnam and Juvvaladinne are under construction. The
remaining 5 fishing harbours located at Budagatlapalam,
Pudimedaka, Biyyaputhippa, Vodarevu and Kothapatnam will
be taken up in the 2nd phase. Construction of 4 Fish Landing
Centres with berthing and post-harvest facilities has been
taken up at Manchineelapeta, Chintapalli, Bheemilli and
Rajayyapeta.
13
Public Distribution System
30. The public distribution system of Andhra Pradesh covers

4,24,07,705 beneficiaries. The coverage has increased from
84% to 94% since the introduction of doorstep delivery of
commodities through Mobile Dispensing Units in the entire
state from February 2021.
31. Andhra Pradesh is the first state in the country to

issue new cards within 21 days of application leveraging the
GS/WS. So far 48,75,906 applications have been processed
by this mechanism.
32. Our government had started distribution of Sortex rice

under PDS from January 2021. The distribution of fortified
rice enriched with iron, vitamin B12 and folic acid was started
by our government in Vizianagaram district in April 2020 to
address the issue of anaemia, micronutrient deficiencies and
to reduce malnutrition. It was extended to cover all beneficiaries
under ICDS and MDM schemes from June 2021. From April
2022, the distribution was extended to cover the seven
aspirational and high burden districts. It is planned to cover
all the districts in the State from April 2023.
33. I propose to allocate an amount of Rs.3,725 crore for

Department of Food and Civil Supplies for the year 2023-24.
14
B. Human Capacity Building & Empowerment
Children Welfare & Women Empowerment
Louis Pasteur, the French chemist, and microbiologist

whose work laid the foundation of vaccination, once said,
“When I approach a child, he inspires

in me two sentiments —
tenderness for what he is and respect for
what he may become.”
34. Andhra Pradesh State has 257 ICDS projects with

55,607 Anganwadi Centres catering to the well-being and
nutritional needs of children and women. YSR Sampoorna
Poshana Plus and YSR Sampoorna Poshana schemes were
introduced for supplementary nutrition through Anganwadi
Centres to address the problem of anaemia and malnutrition
among 7,15,000 pregnant and lactating mothers and 25,76,000
children aged 6 months to 72 months. Nutri kits, milk, and
egg along with one full meal is being given on a daily basis.
35. The Government has decided to co-locate the

Anganwadi Centers with nearby primary schools. All the
Anganwadi Centers will function as YSR Pre-Primary Schools.
The existing primary schools will have Preparatory Class, Class-
I and Class-II and will be called as Foundation Schools.
15
Healthcare and Nutrition
36. In the post-COVID world, healthcare needs to be

repositioned as an investment and not a cost, which would
accelerate economic growth in the years to come. In this regard,
the Naadu-Nedu program is resulting in transformation of
healthcare institutions from basic to state-of-the-art health
care, not only in terms of physical upgradation of facilities,
but also in equipping them with required equipment and trained
manpower.
37. Apart from strengthening the flagship programs like

108-services, 104- services and Family Welfare Programs under
the National Health Mission, adequate provisions have been
made under important schemes. Our government is taking
curative and preventive healthcare services to the doorstep of
citizens through the Family Physician Program. This ensures
that patients do not have to travel during illness and there is
improved monitoring of follow up care. The Medical Officers
visit Dr YSR Village Health Clinics once in a fortnight through
the 104-MMU vehicles to provide general OP, non-
communicable disease management, ante-natal and post-natal
care, and home visits to bedridden patients. Further, 14
laboratory tests and 67 drugs are made available to the patients.
As on date, more than 54 lakh people have availed medical
services at their doorstep under this program.
16
38. Our government has covered about 1.41 crore families
under Dr.YSR Arogyasri scheme. The number of procedures
has been increased from 2,446 to 3,255 and the coverage
extended to cities of Hyderabad, Chennai, and Bengaluru for
716 super speciality procedures. Under Dr. YSR Arogya
Aasara, Rs.5,000 per month is provided post-surgery to
compensate for lost working ability.
Jagananna Gorumudda
“Aahara doshamu vignana nasanamunaku moolamu”
-Aamukta Maalyada
39. To serve tasty, nutritious, and qualitative Mid-Day

meals to children, our government revamped the Mid-Day meal
program since January 2020 by revising the daily menu. Five
eggs, three peanut jaggery chikkis, and 15 other delicious
items are being served every week which contain more
nutritional value than the Recommended Daily Allowance. Our
government has spent an additional amount of Rs.1,000 crore
per annum exclusively for providing improved meals to the
students.

Women Empowerment
Mahilalu spoorthi pradaatalu;

anubhavalanu Jeevita paataalugaa
maliche manipusalu;
Prakrutiki maro roopaalu;
Mahilalu mahilo nadayaade aadi paraashaktulu.
Women empowerment has been a paramount feature

of the state policy under our government.
Jagananna Paala Velluva
41. In fulfilment of its commitment, our government

implemented the Jagananna Paala Velluva Project to organize
women dairy farmers and to promote Mahila Dairy Sahakara
Sanghalu (MDSS) co-terminus with YSR Rythu Bharosa
Kendras. The Jagananna Paala Velluva Project has been
implemented in 17 districts covering 2.52 lakh women dairy
farmers. About 561 lakh litres of milk was procured and an
amount of about Rs.250 crore was paid to the dairy farmers
directly to their bank accounts by eliminating middlemen.
Farmers are getting a better price than what they were getting
earlier which ranges from Rs.5 to Rs.20 per litre based on the
quality of milk.
18
YSR Aasara
42. Our government announced the YSR Aasara scheme

for the waiver of outstanding bank loan as on 11-04-2019 of
rural and urban poor women Self Help Groups in 4 instalments.
An amount of Rs.19,137 crores has been waived in
3 instalments by way of reimbursement to about 78.74 lakh
SHG women in both rural and urban areas. I propose to allocate
an amount of Rs.6,700 crore for the 4th instalment of YSR
Aasara scheme for the year 2023-24.
YSR Sunna Vaddi
43. Our government is implementing the YSR Sunna Vaddi

scheme to promote a culture of timely repayment and also
reduce the interest burden on SHGs for all outstanding bank
loans up to Rs.3 lakh. An amount of Rs.3,615 crores has been
paid to 1.02 crore SHG women since 2019 covering both rural
& urban areas. This measure has reinforced the women
empowerment efforts and accelerated the economic
development of poor SHG women. I propose to allocate an
amount of Rs.1,000 crore for YSR Sunna Vaddi scheme for
the year 2023-24.
YSR Cheyutha
44. The government is providing an assistance of Rs.75,000

over four years i.e., Rs.18,750 per year, to more than 25 lakh
19
women in the age group of 45-60 years, belonging to SC/ST/
BC/Minority communities. The beneficiaries are investing the
amounts as per their choice in existing livelihood activities or
setting up new enterprises. An amount of Rs.14,129 crore has
been disbursed in 3 instalments to 26.7 lakh women members
so far. I propose to allocate an amount of Rs.5,000 crore for
YSR Cheyutha scheme for the year 2023-24.
45. Assistance to women is being provided through Ujjawala

and Swadhar Greh Homes, One Stop Centres, Working
Women’s Hostels, Service Homes and Toll Free Women
Helpline. A State Committee under Mission Shakti Scheme is
constituted to monitor the overall implementation of the
Integrated Women Empowerment Program.

47. Our government has ushered in a transformative era

in school education by introducing initiatives like Mana Badi
Nadu-Nedu, Jagananna Vidya Kanuka, Jagananna
Gorumudda, Jagananna Ammavodi, curricular reforms;
establishment of the Toilet Maintenance Fund (TMF) & School
Maintenance Fund (SMF), and comprehensive academic and
administrative reforms. Our goal is to transform education in
government schools to make our students globally competitive.
48. Towards this objective, it is proposed to introduce

blended learning using digital content to ensure appropriate
learning outcomes. The government has also decided to build
virtual classes in all the government schools and provide smart
TV rooms in the foundation schools. Our government has
distributed 60,000 TABs to teachers and 4.6 lakh TABs to
class VIII students who will appear for their 10th class public
exams in the CBSE pattern during 2024-25.
21
Jagananna Ammavodi
49. By implementation of the unique and innovative

Jagananna Ammavodi program, our government has
prevented poverty from becoming a hurdle to seek education
and ensured regular attendance. Under the scheme, our
government has spent about Rs.19,618 crores since 2019-20
benefiting 44.50 lakh mothers and 84 lakh children annually.
I propose to allocate an amount of Rs.6,500 crore for
Jagananna Ammavodi scheme for the year 2023-24.
50. Similarly, under Mana Badi Naadu Nedu program,

ten infrastructure components namely additional class rooms,
drinking water, major and minor works, toilets, electrification,
painting, furniture, green boards, English labs and kitchen
sheds have been upgraded in 15,715 schools in phase-I. In
phase-II, works have been taken up in 22,344 schools. I
propose to allocate an amount of Rs.3,500 crore for Mana
Badi Naadu Nedu program for the year 2023-24.
Jagananna Vidya Kanuka
51. To improve attendance and enhance the learning

outcomes of government school going children, the government
provides teaching-learning material in form of student kits,
consisting of uniforms, shoes, socks, textbooks, notebooks,
workbooks, school belt and a set of masks. The government
22
has spent Rs.2,368 crores so far to benefit 47.4 lakh children
under this scheme. I propose to allocate an amount of Rs.560
crore for Jagananna Vidya Kanuka scheme for the year
2023-24.
Jagananna Vidya Deevana and Jagananna Vasathi Deevana
“Vidya matrame maanavaali jeevanaadi,

vidya valana aatma viswasam merugu padutundi.
Idi mana sonthamaite mahonnata vijayalaku dari

-Swami Vivekananda
52. The government is implementing the Jagananna Vidya

Deevana scheme which provides full fee reimbursement for
Polytechnic, ITI, Engineering, Medical, degree and higher
courses. Jagananna Vasathi Deevana scheme covers the food
and hostel expenses of students with the objective of improving
the gross enrolment ratio in higher education. These schemes
are being implemented for all students belonging to SC, ST,
BC, Minority, Kapu, EBC and Differently Abled categories.
Since 2019, our government has reimbursed Rs.9,249 crore
under Jagananna Vidya Deevana and disbursed Rs.3,366
crores under Jagananna Vasathi Deevana scheme. I propose
to allocate an amount of Rs.2,841 crore for Jagananna Vidya
Deevana and Rs.2,200 crore for Jagananna Vasathi Deevana
for the year 2023-24.
23
School Education Department and Rs.2,064 crore for Higher
Education Department for the year 2023-24.
Rural Development
“The soul of India lives in its villages”
- Mahatma Gandhi
54. Our government is implementing the MGNREGS in
convergence with 16 line departments for ensuring sustainable
livelihoods and creating durable assets in the rural areas. The
assets include 10,917 Gram Sachivalayam buildings, 10,243
Agriculture Produce Storage structures, 8,320 Bharat Nirman
Seva Kendras, 3,734 Bulk Milk Cooling Units and water
harvesting structures. About 18.39 crore person days were
generated as of December 2022 and 98% of payments are
made within 15 days.
55. The Hon’ble Chief Minister has launched the YSR

Jalakala program on 28th September 2020 to drill bore wells
free of cost and install pump sets for the small and marginal
farmers so that more arable land could be brought under
irrigation. So far, 17,047 bore wells have been drilled.
56. Our government has provided safe drinking water to

about 65 lakh households through functional tap connections.
All households will be covered by 2024 including new
Jagananna Housing Colonies.
24
57. Our government is implementing the AP Rural Road
Project for providing connectivity to all unconnected habitations
with population of 250 and above. About 1,198 habitations
have been covered so far with a road length of 1,737 km. It is
planned to cover additional 2,461 habitations during 2023-24
with a road length of 3,692 km under this scheme. The
beneficial impact of road connectivity has led to greater market
access and increase in daily wages.

2023-24.
Urban Development
59. The SDG 11 is dedicated to development of Sustainable

Cities and Communities. Recognising the importance of well
managed urban development and providing citizen centric
services, our government is providing services through the
Ward Secretariat and Ward Volunteer System in all the 123
ULBs in an accountable, transparent and efficient manner.
60. Mangalagiri and Tadepalli are being developed as model

towns by upgrading the infrastructure and services. To improve
education outcomes in the underserved areas, our government
is implementing the Transformation of Municipal Schools
project in ULBs. Adequate attention is being given towards
25
environmental protection by scientific processing and disposal
of municipal solid waste, improvement of ambient air quality
and drinking water as well.
61. Following the Global Investor Summit, the city of

Visakhapatnam is gearing up to host the meeting of the G20
Infrastructure Working Group under the Finance track on
28th and 29th March. The infrastructure in Visakhapatnam
has been upgraded through road laying, footpath renovation,
new beach stretch development, beach cleaning and
median development. The G20 meeting would provide us with
yet another opportunity to engage on various aspects of
infrastructure investments including developing infrastructure
as an asset class, promoting quality infrastructure investment,
Infratech, and identifying innovative instruments for mobilizing
financial resources for infrastructure investment.
62. I propose to allocate an amount of Rs.9,381 crore to

Municipal Administration and Urban Development Department
for 2023-24.
Skill Development & Training
“The difference between what we do and

what we are capable of doing would
suffice to solve most of the world’s problems.”
- Mahatma Gandhi
26
63. The right skills and abilities are vital for the youth to
thrive in today’s competitive world. Hon’ble Chief Minister has
envisioned a cascading skill ecosystem model for the State by
effectively utilizing the existing infrastructure. The ecosystem
involves a Skills University at the state level, Skill Colleges
(Centres of Excellence) at the district level, and Skill Hubs at
the Assembly Constituency level. The industries would be
partners in designing Course & Curriculum, imparting practical
Skills & Training to candidates and providing placements. So
far, 21 Skill Colleges in 21 districts, 192 Skill Hubs across
175 Assembly Constituencies have been established to impart
skilling in sectors such as healthcare, automotive, electronics,
pharmaceuticals, etc. This would provide skilling to more than
50,000 candidates annually.
64. Our government is also upgrading skill development

infrastructure in ITIs under the Skills Strengthening for
Industrial Value Enhancement (STRIVE). Two new ITIs for
minorities are being established at Adoni and Rayachoti. 154
different industry partners have entered into MoUs with 81
ITIs in 18 trades for conducting a Dual system of Training in
which students would spend half of their course duration in
industry to get on the job training, which would enhance
employability. Our government is also laying emphasis on
enhancing the quality of education in the polytechnics and
27
increase the number of students joining polytechnic education.
The works on construction of permanent buildings in newly
established government polytechnics are in progress.

Skill Development & Training Department for the year
2023-24.
Youth Advancement, Tourism & Culture

“The youth of a nation are the trustees of posterity”
-Benjamin Disraeli
66. Our government envisions to make the youth of the

State one of the healthiest, happiest and holistically developed
youth in the country. With emphasis on providing good sports
facilities, the government has completed the works on 39
Kreeda Vikasa Kendrams and works on another 67 are in
progress.
67. To encourage sports, reservations are provided to

meritorious sports persons in admissions to professional
courses like MBBS, BDS, Engineering, etc. and in recruitment
to State Government and PSU posts.
68. Our government is actively promoting tourism as an

important growth engine of the state economy. The AP Tourism
Policy 2020-2025 aims to make Andhra Pradesh a preferred
travel destination by development of tourism infrastructure
28
such theme parks, amusement parks, tourist amenities, urban
and rural haats, hotels, etc. at different locations in the state.
Our efforts to promote tourism have received a tremendous
response from investors, as evidenced by the recently held
Global Investors Summit. Over 181 MoUs were signed with an
investment of about Rs.22,000 crore in the tourism sector of
Andhra Pradesh.
69. To honour the seminal contribution of Dr. B.R.

Ambedkar, the architect of Indian Constitution, our
government is building a 125 feet bronze statue at Swaraj

will also have an auditorium with a capacity of 2,000 people,
an open theatre with a capacity of 500 people, and a meditation
hall.
70. It is the objective of our government to create awareness

and publicize the rich heritage & culture of our State. In this

advanced digital interactive display technologies, virtual reality,
immersive projection mapping, etc. to give visitors an enriched
experience. These advanced digital technologies have been
implemented in Bapu museum and at Kondapalli Fort, are
being implemented in Eluru and Ananthapuram museums.
71. I propose to allocate an amount of Rs.291 crore for the

Youth Advancement, Tourism & Culture Department for the
year 2023-24.

C. Social Security
“A just society is that society in which ascending sense

of reverence and descending sense of contempt is
dissolved into the creation of a compassionate society.”
– Dr. B. R. Ambedkar
72. Interventions in social welfare have the salutary effect

of protecting livelihoods and providing assistance for socio-
economic upliftment of the most vulnerable sections of the
society. The government spending on social security and
welfare stood at only 4.7% of the total expenditure in
2018-19. This has substantially increased to 13% in
2021-22. In view of the beneficial impact of our social security
polices, the government will continue all the welfare schemes
for the year 2023-24 too, covering beneficiaries from SC, ST,
BC, Minorities, Kapu and EBCs.
73. Our government is committed to the all-round

development of SC, ST, BC, Minorities, Kapu and EBCs in the

BCs, 3 corporations for SCs, and 1 corporation for STs, to
effectively implement the welfare schemes.
74. Minority Welfare: The government implements the

minority component to ensure that adequate allocations are
made to meet the needs of minority communities. Our
30
government is providing honorarium of Rs.5,000 to Mouzans,
Rs.10,000 to Imams, Rs.5,000 to pastors per month. To support
to the poor families from minority communities to meet the
marriage expenditure, the government is implementing YSR
Shadi Tohfa. Financial assistance is also provided to Haj
pilgrims & Jerusalem pilgrims to cover their travel expenditure.
YSR Pension Kanuka
75. The Hon’ble Chief Minister enhanced the quantum of

welfare pensions to Rs.2,250 per month as his first act after
having been sworn-in, in 2019. The previous government was
distributing only Rs.1,000 per month for five years. In line
with the commitment made in the manifesto, the government
has further enhanced the YSR Pension Kanuka to Rs.2,750
per month from 1st January 2023 for 64.45 lakh pensioners in
various categories across the State. We are committed to
enhancing the amount to Rs.3,000 as promised in the
manifesto. I propose to allocate an amount of Rs.21,434 crore
for YSR Pension Kanuka for the year 2023-24.
YSR Kapu Nestham
76. Our government stands committed to the welfare and

development of Kapu, Balija, Telaga and Ontari communities.
A total assistance of Rs.1,997 crore has been provided so far
under YSR Kapu Nestham for the economic upliftment of
31
women in 45-60 age group. For the year 2023-24 too, a financial
assistance of Rs.15,000 will be provided to eligible women
beneficiaries. I propose to allocate an amount of Rs.550 crore
for YSR Kapu Nestham for the year 2023-24.
YSR Bima
77. The YSR Bima scheme was launched by the Hon’ble

Chief Minister on 1st July 2021 to provide insurance cover to
BPL families in case of natural or accidental death of the
primary bread earners. About 1.21 crore primary bread earners
of BPL families are registered under this scheme. I propose to
allocate an amount of Rs.372 crore for YSR Bima for the year
2023-24.
YSR EBC Nestham
78. Recognising the economic hardships faced by the

women belonging to EBC communities and the need to provide
avenues for self-employment, our government is providing a
financial assistance of Rs.15,000 per annum to women in the
45 to 60 years of age group. I propose to allocate an amount of
Rs.610 crore for YSR EBC Nestham for the year 2023-24.
YSR Nethanna Nestham
79. Handloom weaving is one of the oldest professions in

the world. The weaver community of Andhra Pradesh has been
practicing its craft for centuries and has steadfastly continued
32
to do so under challenging circumstances. Ponduru Khadi,
Uppada & Dharmavaram Silks, Mangalagiri cotton, and
Srikalahasti Kalamkari motifs have gained appreciation across
the world. Acknowledging the same, our government is
extending a financial assistance of Rs.24,000 per annum to
each handloom owning weaver family, thereby ensuring
livelihood security. I propose to allocate an amount of Rs.200
crore for YSR Nethana Nestham for the year 2023-24.
Jagananna Thodu
80. Under this scheme, our government has facilitated an

interest free financial assistance of Rs.10,000 per annum
through banks to hawkers, street vendors and artisans engaged
in traditional handicrafts to expand their business. It is a
matter of pride that this scheme has benefited 15.31 lakh
beneficiaries belonging to the most vulnerable sections of
society. The total amount of loan disbursed is Rs.2,470 crore.
I propose to allocate an amount of Rs.35 crore for Jagananna
Thodu for the year 2023-24.
Jagananna Chedhodu
81. The Rajakas, Naye Brahmins and Tailors provide an

immense and irreplaceable service to society. To reduce their
dependence on informal & expensive credit and sustain self-
employment, our government is providing a financial assistance
33
of Rs.10,000 per year to them. I propose to allocate an amount
of Rs.350 crore for Jagananna Chedhodu for the year
2023-24.
YSR Vahana Mitra
82. Appreciating the essentiality of the service as well as

the difficult & challenging nature of occupation of taxi, cab
and auto drivers cum owners, our government is providing a
financial assistance of Rs.10,000 per annum. This is
augmenting their income to pay for insurance, repairs and
other maintenance charges. I propose to allocate an amount
of Rs.275 crore for YSR Vahana Mitra for the year 2023-24.
YSR Law Nestham
83. To support newly graduated lawyers during the initial

period of their careers, a stipend of Rs.5,000 per month is
provided to junior lawyers under this scheme. I propose to
allocate an amount of Rs.17 crore for the year 2023-24 for
YSR Law Nestham.
SC, ST and BC Components
84. I propose to allocate an amount of Rs. 20,005 crore

for SC Component, Rs.6,929 crore for ST Component and
Rs.38,605 crore for BC Component.
34
Welfare of Kapu Community and Minorities
85. Our government had promised to make dedicated

allocations every year under various welfare programs for Kapu
community. I propose to allocate an amount of Rs.4,887 crore
for Kapu welfare. Further, I propose to allocate Rs.4,203
crore for minorities welfare for the year 2023-24.
D. Infrastructure & Industrial Development
Housing
86. Our government is committed to provide 30.2 lakh

permanent houses to all eligible beneficiaries by the end of
2023 in saturation mode under the Pedalandariki Illu
program. Out of the 18.63 lakh houses taken up in phase – I,
16.91 lakh houses have been grounded. The construction of
4.4 lakh houses has been completed and the remaining houses
are at various stages of construction.
87. Our government is also developing YSR Jagananna

Colonies with all infrastructure facilities such as water supply,
electricity, roads, and drainage. To reduce the financial burden
on beneficiaries, the government is providing 20 MTs of sand
free of cost, 5 MTs of cement, steel and 12 other quality building
material at less than market price finalised by floating tenders
on e-procurement platform through reverse tendering process.
I propose to allocate an amount of Rs.5,600 crore for
Pedalandariki Illu for the year 2023-24.
35
Industries and Infrastructure
88. The development of industries & infrastructure has a

multiplier effect on economy, unlocking the productive
capacities across sectors and promoting employment
generation. The Global Investor Summit held recently at
Visakhapatnam showcased the strengths of the State as an
attractive global investment destination. We received an
outstanding response. More than 8,000 delegates attended
the Summit. Prominent industrial houses including NTPC,
Reliance Industries, Adani Group, Jindal Steel and Power,
Bharat Biotech, GMR Group, Dalmia Group, Renew Power,
Bajaj Finserve Ltd, Century Plyboards, Shree Cement, Ramco
Cements, Apollo Hospitals, and many others, have proposed
to invest in Andhra Pradesh.
89. Ambassadors, Diplomats and foreign delegates from

48 countries participated in the Summit. Seven international
business delegations from Israel, Poland, Denmark, Norway,
Netherlands, Singapore, and Japan amongst others showed
keen interest in the industrial potential of Andhra Pradesh.
Four country sessions were held with UAE, Netherlands,
Vietnam, and Western Australia for exploring opportunities
for collaborations. It is matter of pride that the Summit
culminated with the signing of 378 MoUs with an estimated
investment of Rs.13.42 lakh crore and a potential to create
more than 6 lakh jobs in the State.
36
90. The response to the Global Investor Summit provides
credence to the investor friendly Industrial Development Policy
of the government. Andhra Pradesh has stood first in the Ease
of Doing Business rankings. The Single Desk Portal serves as
a one stop shop for all investor needs. Since April 2019, 36,972
applications have been received, out of which 36,049 have
been approved.
91. During the current financial year up to 31st December

2022, 13 Large & Mega projects commenced commercial

93. The ‘YSR Jagananna Mega Industrial Hub’ is being

developed over an extent of 3,155 acre near Kopparthi. This
industrial hub will act as a Multi-Product Mega Industrial Park
to attract investments of Rs.25,000 crore with potential to

Environment and Forests

“When we plant trees, we plant the
seeds of peace and seeds of hope.
We also secure the future for our children.”
-Wangari Maathai
41
106. Andhra Pradesh is endowed with varied eco-systems
and habitats. Our government recognizes that protection and
enhancement of green cover to 33% of the geographical area
is essential to create sustainable living space for the citizens.
In order to achieve this, a massive plantation under Jagananna
Pachhathoram was carried out during 2022-23 by planting
3.05 crore seedlings with participation of all line departments,
people from all walks of life and by converging funds from
CAMPA, MGNREGS, State Development Schemes and Central
Sponsored schemes. We also envisage to develop climate
resilient cities by managing and expanding urban lung spaces
in urban and peri-urban areas under the Nagaravanam
scheme. I propose to allocate an amount of Rs.685 crore for
Environment, Forest, Science & Technology Department during
2023-24.
Energy
107. Energy security is a pre-requisite for modern living &

socio-economic development. SDG 7 is aimed at ensuring
universal access to affordable, reliable and efficient energy
services by 2030. To achieve this objective, our government is

day to 18.74 lakh agriculture pump sets, 200 units of free
power per month to every household in SC/ST colonies, power
at concessional tariff to Dhobi Ghats, BPL Rajaka community,

the year 2023-24.
Governance
110. Gram Sachivalayam and Ward Sachivalayam is another

unique model of decentralized, citizen-centric, transparent
governance which our government has provided to the people
from 15th August 2019. All welfare schemes and services are
being provided to eligible beneficiaries on saturation basis
irrespective of caste, creed, religion, region, gender and political
affiliation. The GSWS have become “One Stop Solution” to
address all the requirements of citizens. They are playing a
crucial role in achieving the SDGs and building a safer,
healthier and prosperous environment for the wellbeing of the
43
citizens of Andhra Pradesh. I propose to allocate an amount of
Rs. 3,858 crore to Gram Sachivalayam Ward Sachivalayam
Department for the year 2023-24.
111. The Disha App, launched by our government in

February 2020 to provide quick response of women’s safety,

112. During the course of conducting Gadapa Gadapaku

Mana Prabhuthvam program, it was observed that various
issues relating to infrastructure and basic amenities including
maintenance of existing infrastructure were being raised by
the Hon’ble MLAs and public representatives. To address these
issues, the Government has permitted the District Collectors
to sanction and execute high impact infrastructure and
maintenance works. I propose to allocate an amount of Rs.532
crore for Gadapa Gadapaku Mana Prabhuthvam program for
the year 2023-24.
113. Our government has developed the State Indicator

Framework consisting of 475 indicators for tracking the progress
on the SDGs. All the Central and State government schemes
including the Navaratnalu have been mapped with the 17 SDGs
based on the intended outcomes. By doing so, our government
has ensured the localization of SDGs down to the Village/Ward
44
Secretariat level. Andhra Pradesh is one of the few states which
has documented the processes, procedures and issued Standard
Operating Procedures for effective implementation and monitoring
of all SDGs.

Conclusion
I would like to conclude with the inspirational words of

Dr. A.P.J Abdul Kalam.
“Dream is not that which you see while sleeping,

it is something that does not let you sleep.”
117. When you dream once, it is a dream; when you dream

twice it is a wish; and when you dream for the third time, it is a
passion, a goal, and a destination.
118. The principle aim of our government is to eradicate

poverty, provide health care and ensure prosperity
to all.
Since the formation of our government, we have been

committed to achieve this aim through the SDG
framework.
Our destination is holistic development of our State

through the inclusive and participative role of the
people.
Our desire is to demonstrate to the world that

empowered people of our State drive sustainable
development.

With these words, I now commend the budget to the august
House for approval.
