Andhra Pradesh launches ₹11,085 crore development push under rural welfare scheme

Andhra Pradesh's leadership inaugurated development works valued at ₹11,085 crore under the 'Palle Panduga-3.0' programme at Ramapuram in SPSR Nellore district on Wednesday. The initiative represents the state government's continued commitment to welfare-focused development across rural areas.

Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu and Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan jointly presided over the event, underscoring the NDA coalition's focus on grassroots governance and infrastructure enhancement. The Palle Panduga scheme, aimed at strengthening village-level amenities and services, has become a flagship programme highlighting the government's development priorities.

The third phase of the initiative aims to address rural infrastructure gaps and improve living standards in village communities across the state. Officials said the projects span multiple sectors critical to rural welfare, though specific details on individual project allocations were not immediately disclosed.

The state government has positioned rural development as a core pillar of its governance agenda, with successive phases of Palle Panduga targeting incremental expansion of civic infrastructure and public services in less developed areas.
