It provides insight into the long-term economic development strategy of a major Indian state and the challenges of balancing industrial growth with rural economic stability.
Andhra Pradesh can achieve its ambitious ‘Swarna Andhra @2047’ vision only by accelerating capital expenditure, reviving the manufacturing sector, expediting industrial projects and ensuring coordinated action across departments to attract investments, generate employment and sustain high economic growth, Planning Department Special Chief Secretary Piyush Kumar has said.
Addressing the Ministers and Secretaries’ Conference on Tuesday, Mr. Kumar outlined the State’s long-term economic roadmap, which envisages a Gross State Domestic Product (GSDP) of ₹308 lakh crore, per capita income of ₹55 lakh and annual economic growth of more than 15% by 2047.
He said the government had developed a digital monitoring framework to ensure systematic implementation of the Swarna Andhra vision. The framework covers 30 Secretariat departments, 87 departments and 651 Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), enabling continuous monitoring of governance, departmental performance and development outcomes to track progress towards the State’s long-term goals.
