Krishna (Andhra Pradesh) [India], October 2 : Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu on Wednesday inspected port works that are underway in the Machilipatnam area of Krishna district.
CM Naidu also targeted the previous YSRCP government led by Jagan Mohan Reddy.
He said, "Because of the inefficiency of the previous government, the Budameru experienced heavy floods in the recent cyclone, pushing Vijayawada city into danger. The state government has developed a system that can catch hold of the criminals within just a few minutes. ...CCTV cameras are being installed wherever necessary. If criminals are in the guise of political leaders, they resort to all kinds of counterattacks, and we are taking all measures to check this and bring the criminals to book. Bundar Port will be of great help to the people of this area."
He further emphasised, "By 2047, the state will become 'Swarna Andhra Pradesh' and everyone can generate power through solar systems on their own."
Earlier today, the Andhra CM launched the country's first-ever skill census pilot project in the Mangalagiri constituency, aiming to assess skill levels through a door-to-door survey.
The skill census is currently being conducted in the Mangalagiri Assembly constituency and Thullur Mandal.
A total of 1,61,421 families are being surveyed, including 1,35,914 households in Mangalagiri and 25,507 households in Thullur, with 675 enumerators carrying out the process. Staff from village secretariats, the Skill Development Department, Centre for Development and Advancement of People (CDAP), and the NYK department are involved, under the supervision of the Skill Development Headquarters.
The primary objective of the Skill Census project is to identify the skills of the youth and provide necessary development to improve employment opportunities. The government has committed to creating 2 million jobs in both the public and private sectors over five years, taking significant steps in this direction.
The government plans to link industries with polytechnic colleges, create job opportunities in ITI colleges, and hold monthly job fairs in each district. The Skill Census will gather data on unemployment, skills, age, and preferred job locations, helping to create a comprehensive approach to improving employment prospects.
