Will turn challenges into opportunities: Naidu | Business Standard News

Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu on Monday said he would turn challenges into opportunities to ensure his state was number one in the next 10 years.

“Within a year, the state economy and revenues have started moving in a positive direction and growth in our GSDP (gross state domestic product) in the first quarter surpassed the national average, though the state bifurcation created many problems for us. So, the opportunities are abundant. Just think positively,” Naidu said at the Business Standard Andhra Pradesh Round Table here.

Naidu said port-led economic development, the electronics and hardware sectors, food processing and aerospace and defence manufacturing, apart from software, would be his government’s priorities.

Alleging the United Progressive Alliance government had bifurcated Andhra Pradesh without adequate consultation, Naidu said his government was prepared to do everything to help the state recover from the setbacks.

He said he had drawn up plans to achieve sustainable double-digit growth through the next 15-20 years. His government had already introduced quarterly monitoring of GSDP growth, he added.

Complimenting Business Standard for focusing on issues relevant to Andhra Pradesh, Naidu said it should also track his government’s progress on various economic parameters every year. “I have already achieved river-linking, which remained a pipe dream from the days of (Atal Bihari) Vajpayee as prime minister, by bringing water from the Godavari to the Krishna through a lift irrigation project in less than a year.

“Soon, we will make a linkage with the Penna and every other river in the state to make Andhra Pradesh a drought-proof state. Through this, we will be able to give any amount of water to industry.” His work, he said, would become easier if the Centre fulfilled its promises to the state during the bifurcation, in terms of funding the revenue deficit and according special-category status. “I am hopeful the Centre will keep its promises and help our state in this transition stage,” he said.

Naidu vowed to hasten the process of securing clearances by industry. “Through our single-desk system, we have achieved 88.8 per cent compliance in terms of granting clearances within 21 days from the date of application. Soon, we will make it 100 per cent,” he said.

Amaravati, the capital city his government proposed to build near Vijayawada, would offer a host of opportunities to entrepreneurs, Naidu said, adding soon, Andhra Pradesh would appoint the Singapore government as the master developer of the capital city. The foundation stone for the construction of Amaravati will be laid on October 2.

Companies from Japan and China were also keen to invest in the capital city project, he said.

“If we add another barrage on the Krishna, the new capital city will have a water front along 30 km of the river course, in addition to a network of water channels criss-crossing the proposed capital city. It will be a blue-and-green capital city, something you won’t find anywhere else in the world,” he said.

The Andhra Pradesh also planned to set up six to seven new airports in the state, Naidu added.

Tamil is olderr than Sanskrit..hehe..
Actually we use both Pazham and PhaLam(literal) for fruit in Malayalam..like Poovu/Malar and Pushpam for flower..
Tamil-correct pronunciation/written form is pazham..But many of them pronounce zh as l..


I meant proto Dravidian language..
One more important thing to note-
'ZH' sound is the peculiarity of Dravidian languages like Tamil,Malayalam and Old Kannada(not in New Kannada)..Its completely absent in Sanskrit(correct me if i am wrong)...Pazham-Phala..If palam is from Sanskrit phala we would use it as palam in Dravidian instead of pazham..So in all possibilities it should be Dravidian-to- Sanskrit,not the other way around..thank you...

regarding zh , Telugu too is a Dravidian language.. but it doesn't have that alphabet

Naidu has been doing very good work on A.P . Can't wait to see Amaravati take shape...

regarding zh , Telugu too is a Dravidian language.. but it doesn't have that alphabet

There's some truth to the fact that this is NO World Bank list per say however if we go beyond the rankings and take a look at the 'real content' of the pdf which details the methodology of rankings you'll see that the sole criterian has been how quick different states complied with the preset parameters , most of which happened only in recent months as per ET reports this is also the reason why even backward states like Raj,Jhar,MP etc made it to the list.So next time anyone alleges fudging ask em to read the whole report and then comment

 

[JanjaWeed]

Liberals are hell bend on show casing their narrow mindedness regarding Modi. It's beyond pathetic.

This is getting really blatant & shameless now. I mean..have you been following this Owaisi episode on telly off late? So called liberal & majority of the media has gone absolutely bonkers. They are questioning him as if he has committed some sort of grave sin by deciding to contest in Bihar. They are so concerned that he will split secular votes...& are taking it upon themselves to ram it down the throat of every Bihari Muslim that Owaisi is a BJP proxy.

They loose this and the 2019 Anti Modi coalition receives a Huge blow... the momentum should be enough to get Assam and U.P. With North India under out belt. Nothing can stop Modi in 2019...so Bihar is crucial... they will do anything..

NDA-ruled states are topping the ease of doing business rankings - here's why


The headlines on the progress of reforms under the Modi government may not read too well – GST stuck, land bill abandoned, etc – but at a more fundamental level, reforms are progressing quite well, thank you.

Before one asks how and where, here are two points to keep in mind: one, legislative changes may be important, but what matters more is whether India is getting to be a better place to do business in, and often this calls for executive action; and two, what happens in Delhi is visible to the national and international media, but in a federal polity, what happens in states is equally important. It is states that must lead reforms in future.


Gujarat CM Anandiben Patel and Andhra CM Chandrababu Naidu

That seems to be happening. Narendra Modi’s mantra of competitive and cooperative federalism is beginning to work if one looks at the results of the first ranking of states on the ease of doing business. It has been produced by the World Bank in association with the centre’s department of industrial policy and promotion (DIPP).

The surprise is not who topped the list (who else, but Gujarat, with an overall score of 71.14 percent across the 98 parameters considered for the ranking), but the changing composition of the honours list of “aspiring leaders” – the seven states that scored above 50 percent overall. Not one is a Congress-ruled state, and all but one are NDA-ruled states. Odisha is the lone exception in the Top 7 that scored above 50 percent. (Check out 10 graphics here.)

It is no accident that reforms at the ground level are being spearheaded by NDA-ruled states. Modi’s home team is doing better than opposition-ruled states that seem keener to trip him and his growth agenda than to take their own states forward.

The main highlight of the World Bank study is that it is not the usual suspects which dominate the upper tier of rankings – not Maharashtra, not Haryana, not Tamil Nadu, not even Karnataka, the most industrially advanced states in India.

Rather, the rankings are ruled by newbies like the truncated Andhra Pradesh, which came a close second to Gujarat under Telugu Desam boss N Chandrababu Naidu, and traditionally backward states such as Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and Rajasthan. These former “Bimaru” states are now at the forefront of state-led reform, having realised that helping business succeed is the key to growth and jobs.

Equally unsurprising, Nitish Kumar’s Bihar is way down on the list at No 21. NiKu is taking his state downhill in his blind ego tussle with NaMo. He is no longer a development icon to follow, obsessed as he seems to be with political oneupmamship. Even Uttar Pradesh, the heart of “Bimaru”, is in the top 10 – just about.

Why do these results fly in the face of accepted wisdom? And why are these changes not acknowledged by business leaders who are moaning and groaning about the slow pace of reforms under Modi?

The main reason is that most small ticket reforms in states have gone under the radar. Efforts to make ease of doing business have accelerated after Modi came to power in Delhi, but the efforts made by states have been invisible to business leaders who look only to Delhi for action. As part of the Make in India campaign, the DIPP drew up a list of 98 parameters last December to help states focus on eliminating the pain points for business, and – no surprise – it is the politically confident states under the BJP's rule that are making faster progress.

The World Bank report confirms that these reforms are a recent development, and not the result of long-term changes initiated much earlier. It notes: “Many reforms have been implemented only very recently - between March and June 2015 - so the private sector might not be aware of those. We urge states to undertake a detailed communication campaign to ensure businesses are aware of the improvement in the regulatory environment.”

The second reason why we are seeing new states rising up the ladder is mining. The NDA government has notched up some legislative successes in coal and mineral-based auctions, and the states that are most likely to benefit from them are clearly eager to gain from this by easing rules for business. Finance Minister Arun Jaitley is quoted by Business Standard as saying that "Mineral-producing states like Odisha, West Bengal, Jharkhand and Chhattisgarh have moved up the ranking as they have eased regulations on the ground." West Bengal is No 11 in terms of ease of doing business, suggesting that Mamata-di, when faced with an election in 2016, is keen to show some results before that. She may not help the centre legislate the land bill, but she was more than vocal on other reforms that helped her state.

Another interesting fact to emerge from the study is the contrasting performances of two states that were earlier one:Telangana and Andhra Pradesh. Even though the former emerged with the crown jewel of Hyderabad in its kitty, it is Naidu’s rump Andhra Pradesh that is stealing the show. With an overall score of 70.12, Naidu has left his Telanganabête noire K Chandrashekhar Rao in the dust. The latter scored just 42.45. The split clearly is bringing out the best in Andhra Pradesh, which wants to prove a point. Again, competitive federalism is clearly at work here.

Arvind Kejriwal’s Delhi seems to be losing its mojo, as the nation’s capital scored a lowly 37.35 percent, for a middling rank of 15. With all its locational and other advantages, Delhi is obviously only an average place to do business in. Kejriwal has to focus less on fighting the Lieutenant Governor, and more on easing rules for business so that he can create jobs in the capital he runs. He has misinterpreted competitive federalism by making it combative federalism. He can’t win with this attitude.

The rankings are sure to change next year, for the race among states has just begun. The laggards have been warned. If you try to block progress by playing politics with development and holding the nation (and your own state) to ransom, you will slip badly.

2 comments from the above article:-

1)KCR knows how to run and win mass agitations. He knows how to keep the candles of sentiment burning forever. From there he has gone up to becoming a Political Leader and then occupied the CM chair. He got what he wanted - a state to rule with all his family members in the cabinet. Thereafter, he has been busy with ONLY one task i.e., making sure that he won't have a competition from a worthy opposition in upcoming election. Afterall which family doesn't want to rule the state forever?

Difficult to expect something like progress or delivery from such nepotists and short-sighted personalities. Telangana is another Uttar Pradesh in the making. Hail KCR.

2)
A truncated AP is fighting a battle of prestiege post bifurcation. Being placed in a disadvantageous position vis-a-vis a state sans a capital city, it has plenty of entrepreneurs with lots and pots of 'capital' ready to invest. Earlier they invested heavily in Hyderabad with the idea that it was the state's capital.But the Andhra entrepreneurial class having been either driven out or sidelined, Telangana continues to flounder. The Telangana Industrial policy is touted as one of the best in the country with Ratan Tata singing paens of it. But actual translation of policies into grounded projects is not forthcoming.Maybe it will take some time.'Bangaru Telangana' ( Golden Telangana) is the theme song of the "T" Govt. as well as Telangana bureacracy.If things aren't speeded up then,KCR will have to face the music in the future.As far as AP is concerned , it comes as no surprise as Naidu is known for putting in place a system of steadfast approvals for new industrial ventures. He did a good job when he was the CM of a united state ( though no one will acknowledge that) . Now that he is heading a state minus ten districts , managing thirteen districts is a cakewalk for him. He is crisscrossing the entire state and has established a pace that his co-politicos and bureaucrats are unable to catch up.If only the rain gods are kinder to him this time, then there is no stopping him !

regarding zh , Telugu too is a Dravidian language.. but it doesn't have that alphabet

Telegu is classified as South Central Dravidian group,Kannada,Tamil and Malayalam are South Dravidian,may be because of that..I don't know much about Telegu,though i could manage some basic conversation..so can't comment further...
Zh sounding words still preserves in Tamil and Malayalam languages,eg-Mazha(rain),Thozhil(work),vaazhu(live),pukazh(praise),pazham(fruit)...Old Kannada did used it, modern Kannada though still preserves some of the above 'zh' sounding words by replacing 'zh' was with 'l'..
eg-Baalu(live)-Its from 'Vaazhu'...V was replaced with B,Zh with l in new Kannada..
another Hogalu(praise)..its from pukazh(P was replaced with H,Zh with l)..
MaLe is from Mazha(zh was replaced by l)..
Note-Zh is still using in Badugar bashey,which is an offshoot of old Kannada language spoken in Nilgiri district of Tamilnadu...

been busy past few days, just caught a glimpse of it last evening, where Rajdeep was grilling him. I couldn't stop laughing when he said to owaisi .. "kya aap Vota Katwa ho"
I don't know about down south but "Katwa" is a slur word for muslims up here. Anyway this would be really interesting to watch how secular "journalists" treats him.
