In a statement released shortly after the presentation of the Union Budget 2024, Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu expressed his gratitude and praise for the central government’s budgetary support. Naidu lauded the budget for its favourable allocations towards the development and infrastructure projects in Andhra Pradesh, marking a notable moment of commendation for the federal budget.
The Union Budget 2024 has allocated substantial funds to Andhra Pradesh, focusing on infrastructure projects, social welfare programs, and economic development initiatives. Notably, the budget includes provisions for improving road connectivity, expanding educational facilities, and enhancing healthcare services across the state.
“On behalf of the people of Andhra Pradesh, I extend my heartfelt thanks to the central government for recognizing the development needs of our state. The allocations made in this budget will play a crucial role in advancing our infrastructure and social welfare programs,” said Naidu in his statement.
Among the highlighted allocations are significant funds for the construction and upgrading of major highways and roads within Andhra Pradesh. This includes the much-anticipated development of key transport corridors that will improve connectivity and stimulate economic growth in the region.
The budget also earmarks resources for the establishment of new educational institutions and the enhancement of existing ones. This initiative aims to bolster the state’s educational infrastructure and provide better learning opportunities for its residents.
### Social Welfare and Health
In addition to infrastructure, the budget addresses social welfare and healthcare, with specific allocations aimed at improving medical facilities and extending health services to underserved areas. This move is expected to boost the state’s healthcare system and support its efforts to provide equitable medical care to all citizens.
Naidu’s praise for the Union Budget comes as a boost to the relationship between the state government and the central administration. The Chief Minister’s acknowledgement of the budget’s provisions reflects a positive stance towards collaborative development efforts and mutual support between different levels of government.
“I appreciate the central government’s commitment to Andhra Pradesh’s growth and development. This budget will not only accelerate our infrastructure projects but also enhance the quality of life for our people,” Naidu added.
With the Union Budget 2024 providing a significant financial boost, Andhra Pradesh is set to embark on several development initiatives that are expected to create jobs, improve public services, and foster economic growth. The focus on infrastructure and social welfare aligns with the state government’s ongoing efforts to elevate its standing and address the needs of its residents.
Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu’s praise for the Union Budget 2024 underscores a positive response to the central government’s support for Andhra Pradesh. The budget’s allocations for infrastructure, education, and healthcare are anticipated to drive the state’s development and contribute to its progress in the coming year.
