Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Unveils Governance Reset

Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu has announced a governance reset aimed at reducing the financial strain on households, with a focus on welfare delivery and administrative reforms. The Chief Minister directed officials to ensure that welfare schemes reach every eligible beneficiary without delay and to measure government performance by the economic relief reached to ordinary families.

Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu has unveiled a governance reset centered on reducing the financial strain on households, warning officials that welfare delivery must translate into visible savings for citizens in education, healthcare, housing, and electricity. The Chief Minister pressed for faster grievance resolution, tougher administrative accountability, and accelerated housing and land reforms, asserting that government performance would be measured by how much economic relief reached ordinary families.

The Chief Minister reviewed welfare delivery systems, revenue administration, and technology-led governance reforms, stating that the government's priority was to reduce public expenditure in critical sectors while ensuring that welfare schemes reached every eligible beneficiary without delay. He set a target of constructing an additional 10 lakh houses by December 2027 and instructed officials to ensure that 2.5 lakh houses were ready for mass housewarming ceremonies by August 15 and another 2.38 lakh houses by December.

The Chief Minister also announced that every Friday would be observed as 'Field Grievance Day', with Collectors mandated to conduct grievance redress programmes directly in the Assembly constituencies, apart from regular Monday sessions at the Collectorate. He proposed a Praja Darbar-style mechanism under the Public Grievance Redressal System, where officials and public representatives would jointly resolve complaints on the spot.

The Chief Minister directed the Collectors to visit at least one constituency four times every month as part of a statewide “goodwill mission” aimed at rebuilding public trust in governance. The court will resume hearing on the progress of the governance reset and the implementation of the new administrative reforms in the coming weeks.
