Lokesh Proposes Decentralised Growth Model with Amaravati as Single Capital
Andhra Pradesh’s IT and HRD Minister, Nara Lokesh, outlined a decentralised growth model for the state while reaffirming Amaravati as the single capital. Speaking about the state’s development strategy, Lokesh emphasized the creation of regional economic clusters to promote balanced growth across all districts. He highlighted that major industrial and infrastructure investments, combined with the upcoming South Coast Railway Zone, will play a key role in accelerating economic development and connectivity. The plan aims to attract investors to different regions, generate employment, and reduce pressure on the capital city by encouraging growth in smaller towns and districts. Lokesh also pointed out the importance of leveraging technology, education, and human resources to support this model. The approach reflects the government’s vision of inclusive development, ensuring that while Amaravati remains the administrative center, other regions also benefit from economic opportunities and modern infrastructure projects.
