“The state is witnessing revolutionary changes in the fields of education, medical and health, agriculture and housing for the good of our future generations, besides transparent implementation of welfare programmes. To take forward these changes, AP needs your support.”
— Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy, Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister
In a special video message to the North American Telugu Association’s (NATA) convention in Dallas, held between June 30 and July 2, Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy urged Telugu Non-Resident Indians based in the United States of America to support the development of Andhra Pradesh by extending financial support and expertise to the state.
“The state is witnessing revolutionary changes in the fields of education, medical and health, agriculture and housing for the good of our future generations, besides transparent implementation of welfare programmes. To take forward these changes, AP needs your support,” Reddy told the participants of the NATA convention.
Showcasing the reforms he had undertaken in various fields, Reddy explained to them his “revolutionary” education schemes such as ‘Amma Vodi’, ‘Goru Muddha’, ‘Vidya Kanuka’ and ‘Vasathi Deevena’, which provide aid in either cash or kind to students or their families. He also spoke about how the YSRCP-led state government strongly believes in education as a tool to bring progress in society.
He also spoke about the progress made through the ‘Nadu Nedu’ programme to transform school infrastructure, provide bilingual text books, and offer digital teaching and TOEFL training, among others.
Highlighting the pride that people in the state felt about the success of NRIs who were born on Telugu soil and went on to work in top positions in the US, the CM said that besides their financial support he also needed the NRIs’ wealth of expertise for the state to achieve all-round development.
