Major decisions

[edit]

With the formation of the government (popularly referred to as Kūṭami) on 12 June 2024, the cabinet ministers were allocated their portfolios on 14 June 2024.[10][11]

In July, Chief Minister Naidu released white papers in the assembly highlighting the status of the state's finances, energy sector, law and order, and excise department. He addressed the current state of the debt and alleged financial mismanagement by the previous government.[12][13][14][15][16][17]

The government marked the completion of 100 days since its formation with a program called "Idi Manchi Prabhutvam," held from 20 September to 26 September. The Chief Minister and ministers attended events at the village and ward levels, highlighting the government's achievements during this period.[18][19]

Timeline

[edit]

13 June 2024 – On assuming office on 13 June 2024 at the Secretariat in Amaravati, Chief Minister Naidu signed five key files, which included decisions on the Mega District Selection Committee notification for the recruitment of 16,347 teachers, the withdrawal of the AP Land Titling Act, the increase of social security pensions, conducting a skill census, and reviving the Anna Canteen.[20][21] The government also restored the name of N. T. Rama Rao to the social security pension scheme, renaming it the "NTR Bharosa Pension Scheme." Under this scheme, the pension for senior citizens and widows was increased from Rs. 3,000 to Rs. 4,000, for people with disabilities from Rs. 3,000 to Rs. 6,000, and for those with chronic diseases from Rs. 5,000 to Rs. 10,000. Additionally, handloom workers, toddy tappers, fishermen, transgender individuals, and various artists will receive a pension of Rs. 4,000 per month, while for those with complete disabilities from Rs. 5,000 to Rs. 15,000.[22]

23 July 2024 – The Government of India announced a facilitation of Rs. 15,000 crore to support the construction of the state capital Amaravati through multilateral development agencies in the current financial year, with additional amounts to be provided in future years.[23] The Central government also expressed its commitment to financing and ensuring the early completion of the Polavaram Project. Funds and grants for the backward districts, as well as for the Koparthy and Orvakal industrial nodes, were also announced.[24][25]

24 July 2024 – The Andhra Pradesh government restored the name of Dr. YSR University of Health Sciences to its original name, Dr. NTR University of Health Sciences, located in Vijayawada. Established by NTR in 1986, he also served as its first Chancellor. The university was originally named after NTR in 1998 by N. Chandrababu Naidu, but the previous YSRCP government had renamed it after YSR in 2022.[26][27][28]

15 August 2024 – The government has re-launched the Anna Canteen program, an initiative to provide subsidized meals at ₹5, originally introduced in 2018 but discontinued by the previous YSR Congress Party government. On the occasion of Independence Day, Chief Minister Naidu inaugurated a canteen in Gudivada, marking the opening of 100 canteens in the first phase.[29][30]

23 August 2024 – The Deputy Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh, Pawan Kalyan, directed officials to hold village meetings, known as "Grama Sabhas," simultaneously in 13,326 gram panchayats on 23 August 2024. The aim was to identify works to be undertaken under the MGNREGS and pass resolutions for infrastructure development in villages, focusing on curbing corruption and avoiding resource wastage.[31][32] Chief Minister Naidu, along with ministers and MLAs, also participated in the program at various gram panchayats.[33] The World Records Union awarded Kalyan a medal and certificate for setting a record by conducting massive Grama Sabhas in a single day and passing resolutions for Rs. 4,500 crore worth of work in villages.[34][35][36]

20 November 2024 – The Cabinet of Andhra Pradesh has approved the establishment of a permanent Bench of the High Court in Kurnool, and the Andhra Pradesh Legislative Assembly has adopted a resolution supporting this decision. Chief Minister Naidu stated that the resolution will be forwarded to the Andhra Pradesh High Court and the Central government. He also assured that the offices of the Lokayukta and the Human Rights Commission will remain in Kurnool.[37][38][39]
