Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Nara Chandrababu Naidu stressed on the need for collective efforts of all stakeholders to achieve the primary goal of making Andhra Pradesh a technology-driven Swarnandhra by 2047 in line with the Centre’s Vikshit Bharat 2047. He was happy that Prime Minister Narendra Modi was also promoting the technology, particularly information technology, he added.
He said that the role of DeepTech is indispensable as the technological revolution holds great promise for the future and employment generation and the government wants to achieve a growth rate of 15% to achieve Swarnandhra.
Mr. Naidu was in the city to participate as the chief guest in the DeepTech/GovtTech Innovation Conclave 2024 here on Friday (Decemberr 06). It was organised by the Global Forum for Sustainable Transformation (GFST) and the Andhra Pradesh government in association with NITI Aayog, AMTZ and AIG Hospitals, to shape the next era of governance.

Recalling his past stints as Chief Minister, Mr. Naidu said that he was the first in the country to introduce power sector reforms and now A.P. has the opportunity to become the Green Energy Hub and for Hydrogen fuel.
“I am a pioneer in technological reforms. Therefore, we hope that by giving priority to works related to technology, we can achieve the goals with collective efforts. We will all make A.P. Swarnandhra,” said Mr. Naidu.
GovtTech Summit 2024 is shaping the next era of governance, creating a transformative agenda by integrating future technologies to revolutionise governance, healthcare, MSMEs and other sectors, for collective well-being, sustainable growth, inclusiveness and all-round development. All these efforts would lay a strong foundation for tech-empowered Swarnandhra Pradesh, he said.
