Vijayawada: Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu on Tuesday emphasised that capital Amaravati should showcase the rich heritage and pride of Telugu culture as it shapes into a vibrant capital for future generations.
Chairing the 59th Authority meeting of the capital region development authority at the state secretariat, Naidu instructed officials to focus on implementing self-financed projects in the capital city.
The meeting discussed land allocations for various institutions and the infrastructure facilities required for the secretariat and the heads of department towers. Several proposals placed by CRDA were approved at the meeting.
Ministers P. Narayana and Payyavula Keshav, chief secretary G Sai Prasad and officials of urban development, CRDA and Amaravati Development Corporation were present.
The Chief Minister referred to land allocations to various institutions in the capital region.
He said the tourism project planned at Neerukonda within the capital region is a prestigious project.Tourism infrastructure should be developed across 167 acres of land in the area. Officials, he said, must prepare plans to attract tourists while also showcasing Telugu heritage.
The Neerukonda project should be designed as a beautiful and vibrant destination, he said.
The CM stated that sports would become one of the biggest revenue-generating sectors in future. “Similarly, several other sports will also become commercially viable. The state must seize these opportunities. The master plan for the proposed Sports City in Amaravati has been designed keeping this vision in mind.”
Naidu emphasised that self-financed projects must be listed for Amaravati. Several prominent companies, he said, are showing interest in investing in the capital city and officials must maintain continuous communication with them. “Companies like DLF are determined not to miss the opportunity to invest in Amaravati. This reflects the credibility of the government,” he said, and asserted that the Amaravati brand should grow bigger and bigger.
He also suggested selecting a suitable name for the proposed Telugu cultural centre in Amaravati. Officials were told to establish a large convention centre in the capital to conduct government-related and other major events.
