Andhra Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan released a special booklet detailing the development works carried out across constituencies through the departments under his charge. As the coalition government approaches the completion of two years in power, the booklet highlights projects implemented through the Panchayat Raj and Rural Development, Rural Water Supply and Sanitation (RWS&S), Forest, Environment, and Science and Technology departments. The document presents constituency-wise information on funds allocated, works executed, and the progress achieved in rural development initiatives across the state.
Pawan Kalyan personally distributed copies of the booklet to ministers and MLAs in the Assembly on Friday. The report includes details of development works taken up under major rural programmes such as Palle Panduga 1.0, Palle Panduga 2.0, and SASCI under the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme. It lists the construction of cement roads, BT roads, gokulams, farm ponds, and water tanks in villages. The booklet also contains information about protected drinking water projects implemented through the Jal Jeevan Mission and the funds released to village panchayats under the 15th Finance Commission.
Significantly, the report covers development works in all constituencies regardless of political affiliation. Apart from coalition MLAs, it also includes details of allocations made in the 11 constituencies represented by YSRCP MLAs. The initiative reflects the coalition government’s stated approach of prioritizing development across the state without political bias under the leadership of Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu. According to the report, the focus of these departments has been on rural infrastructure, increasing green cover, and strengthening environmental protection while improving basic amenities in villages.
The first copy of the booklet was presented to Assembly Speaker Chintakayala Ayyannapatrudu at his chamber in the Assembly premises.
