He said the government would take up 53,382 development works worth Rs 6,787 crore across 13,326 gram panchayats, with every village set to emerge as a symbol of development with support from Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu.
As part of the initiative, 8,571 km of roads would be laid at a cost of Rs 5,838 crore. The plan also includes restoration of old roads, construction of 25,000 mini Gokulas costing ₹375 crore, 157 community Gokulas for `16 crore, and 58 km of drains for ₹4 crore. Pawan also announced additional funds of ₹100 crore for Konaseema’s development.

Calling Konaseema a potential tourism hub similar to Kerala, with its backwaters and natural beauty, he said the government would work to promote tourism in the region.
