Why it matters
The focus on public-private partnerships and social welfare reflects the current administration's approach to regional development and human capital.
Andhra Pradesh IT and HRD Minister Nara Lokesh on Monday called for greater public participation in Visakhapatnam’s development, saying that civil society, the government and officials could achieve more by working together.
Speaking after inaugurating the Sneha Sandhya Age Care Foundation’s Centre for Geriatric and Palliative Care at Gambheeram in Anandapuram mandal, Mr. Lokesh said the services rendered by late Dr. S.V. Adinarayana Rao would be remembered.
He said Dr. Adinarayana Rao’s family had allocated six acres for social service and described the facilities developed there as an example of how one person’s contribution could benefit many.
A college, a midday meal programme through the Hare Krishna Movement and facilities for the care of the elderly have been set up on the land, he said.
