 1. HISTORY OF ANDHRA PRADESH

• The history of Andhra Pradesh dates back to ancient times. It

has mention in the famous Indian epics Mahabharata, Ramayana,
the Jataka Tales and the Puranas. The glorious past of Andhra
Pradesh is a result of the many different dynasties that have
ruled the region.
• The influence of the rulers on the culture and tradition of this
south Indian state have been immense
• Referred in the great Sanskrit epics, Andhra Pradesh traces its history and origin back to the 5th
century BC. As stated by the inscriptions, Kuberaka had a kingdom in the coastal Andhra during that
period. Perhaps, this kingdom is known to be oldest one in South India. In the 4th century BC, the
Mauryans extended their kingdom to rule over Andhra Pradesh. The Mauryan Empire was declined
when Andhra Satavahanas arrived on the scene in the 3rd century BC.
• With the fall of Satavahanas in 220 CE, Andhra was ruled by Ikshvakus,
Pallavas, Vishnukundinas, Anandagotrikas and Cholas. During the rule
of Renati Cholas, in 5th century CE, Telugu emerged as a popular
medium of communication. In the reigning period of Vishnukundina
Kings, Telugu was accredited to be the official language of the state.
By the 12th and 13th centuries CE, Chalukyan influence was
undermined with the incursion of Kakatiya dynasty.
• In 1323 CE, Ghiaz-ud-din Tughlaq captured Warangal, with the
assistance of Ulugh Khan. Once again, Warangal came under the
control of Musunuri Nayaks, who ruled it for over 50 years. Alla-ud-
din Hasan Gangu established an independent Muslim state (Bahmani kingdom) in 1347 CE to revolt
against the Delhi Sultanate. For about 200 years, the Qutb Shahi dynasty ruled over the Andhra kingdom.
The Northern Circars became element of the British Madras Presidency in colonial India. Soon after
the surrender of five territories to the British by the Nizam, a region emerged by the name of Rayalaseema.
The Nizams still controlled the princely state of Hyderabad. In 1947, India became free from the
clutches of the British. The Muslim Nizam of Hyderabad preferred to be independent from India;
however Hyderabad was enforced to become part of the Republic of India in 1948. After much
disagreement and civil unrest, the Government was forced to proclaim the configuration of a new state
for Telugu speakers. In October 1953, Andhra managed to get the status of state. By November 1956,
Andhra State was combined with the ‘Telangana region’ of Hyderabad State to shape Andhra Pradesh,
the state of Telugu-speakers. Eventually, Hyderabad (the earlier capital of Hyderabad State) was
declared to be capital of Andhra Pradesh.
After the independence of india many states in the country have demanded for the separation
of the state on the basis of language
Dhar Commission
• The boundaries of the provinces in pre-1947 were drawn in a haphazard manner, and were not on
linguistic basis and thus most provinces were multilingual and multicultural.
1
• It was incorporated in the Congress Party’s manifesto of 1945-46 that the provinces were to be
redistributed on a linguistic basis. The promise was backed with the argument that it would make the
administration easier, in view of to make linguistic identities in front, in place of more controversial
ones, like caste and religion-based identities.
• But dramatically, post independence the stance of the top Congress brass was found completely contrary
to this. Now Nehru and Sardar Patel were not in opposition to the linguistic states; they started
apprehending this, saying that it could harm the national harmony and sovereignty.
• Nevertheless, to check the need and feasibility of such reorganization, the then President Rajendra
Prasad constituted ‘Linguistic Provinces Commission’ headed by SK Dhar in 1948. It outright rejected
the idea on basis of threat to national unity and administrative inconvenience. And its report came to
the same conclusion as “the formation of provinces on exclusively or even mainly linguistic considerations
is not in the larger interests of the Indian nation”. Besides this, it recommended the reorganization of
the provinces by geographical contiguity, financial self-sufficiency, and ease of administration. The
committee also advised against states based on linguistic basis citing prior importance of national security
and economic development.
• But there arose opposition to the suggestions of the Dhar commission for which the JVP committee
was made in 1948 to examine the question afresh.
• JVP Committee : The JVP Committee comprised of Jawaharlal Nehru, Vallabhbhai Patel and Pattabhi
Sitaramayya. Its report of 1949 affirmed that the time was not suitable for formation of new provinces,
and in this manner, its approach was to temporize the matter for next ten years.
• Fazl Commission
• On December 22, 1953, Jawaharlal Nehru announced the appointment of a commission under Fazl Ali.
The other two members of the commission were K M Panikkar and HN Kunzru. The commission
submitted its report after taking into account the wishes and claims of people in different regions.
• It recommended the reorganization of the whole country into sixteen states and three centrally
administered areas. However, the government did not accept these recommendations in toto.
• While accepting the Commission’s recommendation to do away with the four-fold distribution of states
as provided under the original Constitution, it divided the country into 14 states and 6 union territories
under the States Reorganization Act 1956.
• The Gentlemen’s agreement of Andhra Pradesh (1956) refers to a gentleman’s agreement that
was signed between Telangana and Andhra leaders before the formation of the state of Andhra Pradesh
in 1956. The agreement provided safeguards with the purpose of preventing discrimination against
Telangana by the government of Andhra Pradesh. The alleged violations of this agreement are cited as
one of the reasons for demands for separate statehood for Telangana. Agreement text A Regional

HYDERABAD :
• Hyderabad was founded by the Qumb Shh+ sultans
of Golconda, under whom the kingdom of Golconda
attained a position of importance second only to that
of the Mughal Empire to the north. The old fortress
town of Golconda had proved inadequate as the
kingdom’s capital, and so about 1591 Mu%ammad
Qul+ Qumb Shah, the fifth of the Qumb Shahs, built a
new city called Hyderabad on the east bank of the
Musi River, a short distance from old Golconda. The
Charminar, a grand architectural composition in Indo-
Saracenic style with open arches and four minarets, is regarded as the supreme achievement of the
Qumb Shh+ period. It formed the centrepiece around which the city was planned. The Mecca Mosque,
which was built later, can accommodate 10,000 people. The mosque was the site of a bombing attack
in 2007 that killed several Muslims and injured many others. The incident aggravated Muslim-Hindu
tensions in the city, which has experienced periodic outbreaks of violence over the years.
Section 6: The Central Government shall constitute an expert committee to study various alternatives

Krishnan committee by the ministry of home affairs to study the new capital area in AP.On august 31

8
• Mr. KC Sivaramakrishnan IAS (Retd), Former Secretary, Urban Development and Chairman of the

• Mr. Aromar Revi Director, Indian Institute of Human Settlements Member
• Mr. Rathin Roy Director, National Institute of Public Finance and Policy Member
• Mr. Jagan Shah Director, National Institute of Urban Affairs Member

Recommendations:

• Opined the capital could be between Marturu and Vinukonda.

Pulichintala as suitable for Capital regions.
• Referred three zones set up for the capital.
• Opposed the building of Super City or Smart City.
• Said that capital between Vijayawada-Guntur is incorrect because it would bring up economic and
environmental problems.
• It also opined that farmers and laborers are more Krishna and Guntur districts and would make it
difficult for land acquisition and would benefit only realtors and the traffic in Vijayawada-Guntur-
Mangalagiri- tenali cities is likely to be higher.
• Road connectivity should be increased on the banks of river Krishna.
• It suggested, to divide, Andhra Pradesh into four parts.They should be Uttara Andhra (Northern Andhra),
Madhya Andhra (Central Andhra), Coastha Andhra(Coastal Andhra) and Rayalaseema.

Godavari, Madhya Andhra comprises West Godavari, Krishna and Guntur districts, Coastha Andhra
comprises Nellore and Prakasam districts and Rayalaseema comprises YSR Kadapa, Kurnool,
Anantapur and Chittoor districts.
• Vishakhapatnam should be set up as a high-tech zone and 109 office should be set up in its zone.
• High Court should be set up in Visakhapatnam and a High Court Bench should be in either Anantapur
or Kurnool.
• Kalahasthi Zone to be set up as the Railway Zone. Guntur-Chennai Central Railway corridor to be set
up.
• Assembly, secretariat, the chief minister’s office should be set up in the capital city.

14th finance commission recommendations :

14th Finance Commission
• The Union Cabinet chaired by the Prime Minister has today given its approval to Recommendations on
Fiscal Deficit Targets and Additional Fiscal Deficit to States during Fourteenth Finance Commission
(FFC) award period 2015-20.
Key recommendations:
• The Finance Commission is required to recommend the distribution of the net proceeds of taxes of the
Union between the Union and the States (commonly referred to as vertical devolution); and the allocation
between the States of the respective shares of such proceeds (commonly known as horizontal devolution).
• With regard to vertical distribution, FFC has recommended by majority decision that the the States’
share in the net proceeds of the Union tax revenues be 42%. The recommendation of tax devolution at
42% is a huge jump from the 32% recommended by the 13th Finance Commission. The transfers to the
States will see a quantum jump. This is the largest ever change in the percentage of devolution. In the
past, when Finance Commissions have recommended an increase, it has been in the range of 1-2%
increase. As compared to the total devolutions in 2014-15 the total devolution of the States in 2015-16
will increase by over 45%.
• The consequence of this much greater devolution to the States is that the fiscal space for the Centre
will reduce in the same proportion. As recorded in Chapter-8 of FFC’s Report, amongst other demands
of the States, the States had demanded both an increase in share of tax devolution, and a reduced role
of CSS.
• FFC has taken the view that tax devolution should be primary route of transfer of resources to States.
It may be noted that in reckoning the requirements of the States, the FFC has ignored the Plan and
Non-Plan distinction; it sees the enhanced devolution of the divisible pool of taxes as a “compositional
shift in transfers from grants to tax devolution” (Para 8.13 of FFC Report). Thus, basically the FFC
18
 Report expects the CSS, in fact Central assistance to State Plans as a whole, to reduce and be replaced
by greater devolution of taxes.
• Keeping in mind the spirit of cooperative federalism that has underpinned the creation of National
Institution for Transforming India (NITI), the Government has accepted the recommendation of the
FFC to keep the States’ share of Union Tax proceeds (net) at 42%.
• In recommending horizontal distribution, the FFC has used broad parameters of population (1971) and
changes of population since, income distance, forest cover and area.
• The Finance Commission is also required to recommend on ‘the measures needed to augment the
Consolidated Fund of a State to supplement the resources of the Panchayats and Municipalities in the
State on the basis of the recommendations made by the Finance Commission of the State’.
• FFC has recommended distribution of grants to States for local bodies using 2011 population data with
weight of 90% and area with weight of 10%. The grants to States will be divided into two, a grant to
duly constituted Gram Panchayats and a grant to duly constituted Municipal bodies, on the basis of
rural and urban population.
• FFC has recommended grants in two parts; a basic grant, and a performance grant, for duly constituted
Gram Panchayats and municipalities. The ratio of basic to performance grant is 90:10 with respect to
Panchayats and 80:20 with respect to Municipalities.
• FFC has recommended out a total grant of Rs 2,87,436 crore for five year period from 1.4.2015 to
31.3.2020. Of this the grant recommended to Panchayatas is Rs 2,00,292.20 crores and that to
municipalities is Rs 87,143.80 crores.
• FFC has recommended that up to 10 percent of the funds available under the SDRF can be used by a
State for occurrences which State considers to be ‘disasters’ within its local context and which are not
in the notified list of disasters of the Ministry of Home Affairs.
Note : The central government announced special category status to the state of AP but it did not
come into force because of the recommendations of 14th finance commission.
Criteria to declare a state as special category status state:
• The concept of a special category state was first introduced in 1969 when the 5th Finance Commission
sought to provide certain disadvantaged states with preferential treatment in the form of central
assistance and tax breaks. Initially three states Assam, Nagaland and Jammu & Kashmir were granted
special status but since then eight more have been included (Arunachal Pradesh, Himachal Pradesh,
Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Sikkim, Tripura and Uttarakhand). The rationale for special status is
that certain states, because of inherent features, have a low resource base and cannot mobilize resources
for development.
Some of the features required for special status are:
(i) hilly and difficult terrain;
(ii) low population density or sizeable share of tribal population;
(iii) strategic location along borders with neighbouring countries;
(iv) economic and infrastructural backwardness; and
(v) non-viable nature of state finances.
• The decision to grant special category status lies with the National Development Council, composed of
the Prime Minster, Union Ministers, Chief Ministers and members of the Planning Commission, who
guide and review the work of the Planning Commission.
19
Advantages of getting special category status
• Preferential treatment in federal assistance and tax break
• Significant excise duty concessions. Thus, these states attract large number of industrial units to establish
manufacturing facilities within their territory leading to their economy flourishing
• The special category states do not have a hard budget constraint as the central transfer is high
• These states avail themselves of the benefit of debt swapping and debt relief schemes (through the
enactment of Fiscal Responsibility and Budget Management Act) which facilitate reduction of average
annual rate of interest.
• Significant 30% of the Centre’s gross budget goes to the Special category state
• In centrally sponsored schemes and external aid special category states get it in the ratio of 90% grants
and 10% loans. For the rest of the states as per the recommendations of the 12th Finance Commission,
in case of centrally sponsored schemes only 70% central funding is there in the form of grant. The rest
of the states receive external aid in the exact ratio (of grants and loans) in which it is received by the
Center.
Raghuram Committee recommendations
• Raghuram Committee proposed changes in providing special status. The proposed methodology allocates
funds across states based on need thus underdevelopment index has been constructed.
• The underdevelopment index the Committee proposes includes the following ten sub-components:
(i) monthly per capita consumption expenditure,
(ii) education,
(iii) health,
(iv) household amenities,
(v) poverty rate,
(vi) female literacy,
(vii) percent of SC-ST population,
(viii) urbanization rate,
(viii) financial inclusion, and
(x) connectivity.
• The Committee recommends that “least developed” states, as identified by the index, be eligible for
other forms of central support that the Central Government may deem necessary to enhance the
process of development. Following the constitution of the NITI Aayog (after the dissolution of the
Planning Commission) and the recommendations of the Fourteenth Finance Commission (FFC), Central
plan assistance to SCS States has been subsumed in an increased devolution of the divisible pool to all
States (from 32% in the 13th FC recommendations to 42%) and do not any longer appear in plan
expenditure.
Note: On march 7th 2018 Arun Jaitley announced that the state of AP will not be getting special
category status but a special package will be announced equivalent to the special status.

16. AMARAVATHI NEW CAPITAL OF ANDHRA PRADESH
• The new capital city Amaravati is being referred to as people’s capital because soil and water from
16,000 villages in the state, prominent seats of pilgrimage from across the country, and some foreign
countries were used for the foundation ceremony, attended by around 4 lakh people.
• Spread over 54,000 acres between Vijayawada and Guntur, Amaravati is easily accessible because of
its central location. The upcoming capital of Andhra Pradesh holds lots of economic, geographic, cultural
and historic value.
• The History of Amaravati
• The history of Amaravati or Amaravathi dates from the 2nd century BC. If the 2000-year old
history is believed, it was a thriving capital of the Satvahana Kingdom in ancient India just as Patliputra
(modern-day Patna) was the capital of Magadh during the Maurya era.
• The rulers of the Satvahana dynasty were in power from 3rd century BC to 2nd CE between the
Maurya and Gupta eras, which are considered golden times of India. Evidently, Amaravati has rich
history for being the yesteryear capital city of the Satvahana Empire.
• The history of Amaravathi continued till the fall of Nizams in the princely state of Hyderabad.
After the fall of the Satvahana Kingdom, the Pallava Dynasty annexed the Krishna River valley where
Amravati is located. Then the region was ruled by the Chalukyas and the Cholas subsequently till
Amaravati was made part of the Telugu Empire by the Kakatiyas in the medieval times.
• The rulers of several dynasties added to the history of Amaravati from the medieval times of
India till the end of the Mughal era. The Delhi Sultanate, the Bahmani Sultanate, the Golconda
Sultanate, the Vijayanagar Empire, and the Mughal Empire possessed Amaravathi successively till the
first Nizam of Hyderabad occupied it.

61
• Even Hyder Ali of Mysore possessed it for a brief period. Amravati was colonized by the French in
1750 and by the British in 1759, too.
• Among the foreign pilgrims to ancient India, Chinese traveler and Buddhist monk Hiuen
Tsang visited Amaravati in 640 CE.
• The Culture of Amaravati
• Being part of several different dynasties over centuries, Amaravathi has a miscellaneous
culture which is rich and diverse.
• It used to have great cultural impact on the people of Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Karnataka
and Andhra during the post-Mauryan period.
• The Satvahana rulers preserved Hinduism and patronized Buddhism with equal care. It enriched the
culture of Amaravati with enlightenment and rationality.

• Many historical facts bear a testimony to the Buddhist influence on the culture of Amravati in the
bygone years.
• The valley between the Krishna and the Godavari River had been a prominent site of Buddhism since
before the Satvahana rose to power. A stupa and a monastery were built when Ashoka was the king of
the Mauryan Empire in the 2nd century BCE.
• It is said that the stupa at Amravati, measuring 50 meters in diameter and 27 meters in height, was one
of the biggest Buddhist stupas in Andhra Pradesh. The panels carved on it depict the story of Lord
Buddha.
• Amaravati is known for its own school of architecture influenced by the Buddhist art and culture. The
Amravati school of architecture has unique features, which is evident from the sculptural work on the
Buddhist monastery of Amaravathi.
• According to art historians and art critics, the Amaravati art is among the major three ancient schools
of Indian art. Many works of the Amravati art are preserved at the Government Museum in Chennai
and the British Museum in London.
• The Southeast Asian arts including the art of Sri Lanka are found to be influenced by it.
• Amaravati is a seat of pilgrimage for not only Buddhists but also Hindus. It is home to
several Lord Shiva temples, of which the most famous is Lord Amaralingeswara or Amareswara
Swamy Temple. That is why the new capital of Andhra Pradesh is also known as Amararamam.
• Jainism used to coexist with Buddhism and Hinduism in Amaravathi during the bygone eras following
the decline of the Satvahana Dynasty.
• Therefore, Amaravati is also known as ‘City of Tolerance’ or Sridhanyakataka. Being a center
of pilgrimage for Hindus and Buddhism, Amaravati is also known as ‘Punyakshetra’ (holy land).

Land Pooling Scheme
• It is an activity where the farmers are voluntarily coming an giving away their lands for the development
of the capital city.
• The land pooling mechanism is mainly adopted for development of the Capital City area where the land
parcels owned by individuals or group of owners are legally consolidated by transfer of ownership
rights to the authority, which later transfers the ownership of a part of the land back to the landowners
for undertaking development of such areas.
• This scheme was notified across 29 habitations in the Capital city. In pursuance of the provisions made
under section 52 of APCRDA Act 2014 read with Rule 6 of AP Capital City Land Pooling Scheme
(Formulation and Implementation) Rules, 2015, Notifications of declaration of intention to undertake
Land Pooling Scheme” in Form 9.1 were issued in all 26 LPS Units covering 29 habitations.

Riverfront villages (Jareebu lands) and after multiple discussions with capital city farmers, the government
has enhanced the package for the land pooling scheme. The enhanced scheme would enable the
farmers of Jareebu lands to receive 450 sq. yds. of commercial plot instead of an earlier offer of 300
sq.yds.
Enhancement of Package for Dry Lands
• On April 25, 2016, the government has announced an additional 50 sq.yds. of land towards compensation
to LPS farmers covered under the dryland package. This enhancement was carried out after having
consulted the farmers taking into account various representations made by them.

of Amaravati Capital City.
• The project proposes to strengthen the social and ecological heritage of the village and integrate the
social infrastructure with the new developments.
• Nelapadu is located in the South Western quarter of the Capital City. Nelapadu village being the first
village to participate in the LPS and being well responsive to the Land Pooling process, was taken up
as the first village for preparation of layout of returnable plots under the Land Pooling Scheme.
• Following the official allotment of returnable plots on 25th June 2016, Nelapadu has become the point
of reference for preparation of Land Pooling layouts for all the other villages in the Capital City.

TO DISTRIBUTE PLOTS LOTTERY PROCEDD WAS USED:

• Lottery is the most important milestone in the entire LPS process as the farmer will get the returnable
residential/ commercial plot allotted through this process.
• To make the process of distribution of developed plots completely transparent and unbiased, Govt.
decided to adopt dynamic allocation of plot through a lottery system.
• To meet this objective, AP Online developed an online solution which will enable this dynamic allocation
of plots

68
MANA AMARAVATHI APP:
• Mana Amaravati’, an app that allows the owners of allotted plots a chance to reach out to investors in
any part of the world and get a better deal for the sale, lease or joint development of land parcels, was
launched by Andhra Pradesh chiefminister N. Chandrababu Naidu.
• The application aims to bridge the gap between the state government and its citizens, as it allows the
owners of allotted plots in the new capital region a chance to reach out to investors in any part of the
world and get a better deal for the sale, lease or joint development of their plots, Sreedhar Cherukuri,
AP Capital Region Development Authority commissioner said in a statement.
ISSUES ARISED:
• Lanka lands Lanka lands are pooled on par with lands in the main land. The same packages which
apply for patta and assigned apply for lanka lands. Returnable lands for lanka lands will be given in the
main land as per availability returning all returnable extents to main land owners.
• Eroded lands Eroded private lanka lands are part of the river. Survey numbers of eroded land do not
entitle any claim for compensation/package
• Alienated of assigned lands After notification of capital city land pooling a number of representations
were received that lands assigned in the past have changed hands and certain persons have been under
cultivation in these lands since a long time.

particular state. The development activities happened in jks state are announced to the public and the
opposition parties through the white papers.
• The term white paper originated with the British government, and many point to the Churchill White
Paper of 1922 as the earliest well-known example under this name.
• In Canada, a white paper is "...a policy document, approved by Cabinet, tabled in the House of Commons
and made available to the general public
• The chief minister said that his government had in 2014 explained state bifurcation issues and challenges
in white papers and now the progress achieved in the past four-and-a-half years should be highlighted.
• The sectors selected are education, health, water resources management, irrigation projects, human
resources development, industries and employment opportunities, service sector, welfare and infrastructure
development.
• The TDP government has decided to keep these subjects for discussion of general public by placing the
White Papers before the Gram Sabhas to be held during the Janmabhoomi program from January 2 to
11 in 2019 year.
• The details of the white paper are mentioned below according to the date of its issue:
• The first white paper was issued on 23/12/2018.(AP REORGANISATION AND DIFFICULTIES)
Introduction
1. The Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Act, 2014 (Act 6 of 2014) was notified on the first of March, 2014.
2nd June 2014 was notified as the appointed day, the day on which the state of Andhra Pradesh was
bifurcated into the state of Telangana and the State of Andhr aPradesh.
2. Government in the white paper “The impact of State Reorganisation” released on 17.08.2014 had put
forth before the 5 crore people of Andhra Pradesh, the contradictions, commissions, omissions and
inadequacies of the Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Act, 2014 and tremendous financial, infrastructural,
educational and employment disadvantage Andhra pradesh was put to. At the end of nearly 4½ years,
the present white paper seeks to place on record the status of implementation of assurances made in the
Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Act, 2014 as well as the assurances/announcements of the Hon’ble
Prime Minister on the floor of Rajya Sabha on 20.02.2014

 Unscientific Division of Andhra Pradesh State
3. Lack of adequate and serious consultations with the key stakeholders, absence of consensus amongst
key political parties, lack of transparency and cloak and dagger mode of drafting the bill characterised
the process of enactment.Despite series of agitations from the people, scant regard was shown to their
feelings/aspirations. Lack of transparency surrounding the reorganisation process and the frenetic pace
with which the process was carried out by the UPA led central government had caused serious
disenchantment amongst people of Andhra pradesh.
• In power sector, power consumption has been adopted as the basis of distribution which is detrimental
of AP state.
• Refund of taxes is to be shared between Andhra Pradesh and Telangana on population basis (58.32 :
41.68) whereas deferred tax collections have been allocated on location basis. This has caused a loss of
about Rs.3,800 Crores.
• No capital city for the residuary state of Andhra Pradesh.
• Undivided loan liability of more than Rs. 33,478 Cr. has been put in the books of accounts of Andhra
Pradesh, burdening the state with discharge of liability along with interest, pending division. This has
adversely impacted FRBM limits of Andhra Pradesh as well.
• Despite Singareni Collieries being a schedule IX company, Telangana State has been allocated 51%
equity of the company on location basis.
• There are 14 assurances in the main sections of the Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Act, 2014.

• The State of A.P. has always been a forerunner in terms of leveraging Technology for Development.
Given the stage at which the State is in with its unique challenges post bifurcation, it is important for the
Government to formulate and implement a strategy that not only builds a technology framework to
match the global trends, but also foster an ecosystem for public service delivery for empowerment of
citizens with the ultimate aim of achieving good governance though technology.
• Real Time Governance ecosystem aims at bringing a uniform platform using:
a. Real time dash-boards on various performance indicators
b. An Integrated Communication System called "Parishkara Vedika" for efficient
• Grievance Redressal Mechanism for the Citizens at a phone call to 1100 from anywhere

87
• Mobile & Web-based Applications
• There are a number of Apps launched by RTG, with the objective of active engagement of citizens -
each aiming to provide a platform for two way communication between the Citizen and the Government.
These Apps include: AP CM Connect Card in Kaizala, RTGS Website (Meekosam), People First
Citizen App, NCBN App, App for Sand-reaches, App for reporting Illicit liquor shops, Event Specific
Apps for Nava Nirmana Deeksha, Janma Bhoomi, Aada Biddaku Rakshaga Kaduludam, Housing,
Palle Nidra.
People Hub:
• Andhra Pradesh Praja Sadhikara Survey is a dynamic survey of all households, aimed to capture socio-
economic demographic information of citizens in digital form, with online validations. The field surveyors
can enter the data by accessing the relevant portal through a connected tablet so that the data validations
happen online and the scope for mistakes is minimized and the consolidation and analysis of data can be
completed within 2 weeks of the completion of field survey.
• The objectives of the proposed Smart Pulse Survey are summarized below:
• Completing the seeding of Aadhaar in the databases of identified developmental
• Ensuring the correctness of the data already seeded with Aadhaar;
• Ensuring that the demographic data of any person is identical in the SRDH
• Eliminating duplicate records;
• Deleting the records of persons who have expired;
• . RTGS-AWARE (AP Weather Forecasting and Early Disaster Warning):
• Govt. of Andhra Pradesh through RTGS has entered into a collaboration with Indian Space Research
Organization (ISRO) to provide in house meteorological services to Govt. of Andhra Pradesh like Weather
forecasting, nowcasting, agro-advisories, sea-state forecasting, extreme weather events like thunderbolts,
lightning, cyclones monitoring, etc. RTGS-AWARE uses advanced ensemble modelling for weather
forecasting.
• All extreme weather events that may occur in the state are forecast and the advisories and communication
are immediately sent by RTGS to respective clientele viz., district, mandal and village level administrations,
citizens, farmers, fishermen, etc.
Cyclone Titli:
• The Aware team of RTGS correctly predicted the course of Cyclone Titli accurately predicting its
landfall in the coast of Srikakulam above Kalingpatnam. Cyclone Titli made its landfall in Pallesarathi
village of Vajrapukothuru mandal in the intervening night of Oct 10-11, 2018. The precise prediction
helped in communicating the local agencies to evacuate coastal population to safe places in time and
taking other preparatory measures. Likewise, communication was sent to fishermen to remain off from
sea for fishing due to cyclone and rough sea. All these measures by RTGS ensured that the number of
causalities due to cyclone Titli are very low. There were only 9 deaths in Andhra Pradesh in Srikakulam
during the storm, whereas Titli claimed more than 60 lives in Odisha. Similarly more than 40 people died
in Tamil Nadu due to Cyclone Gaja.

88
 Cyclone Phethai
• Similarly from the experience of Cyclone Titli, RTGS was able to deftly handle Cyclone Phethai, which
hit central coastal Andhra Pradesh near Kakinada on 17 Dec, 2018. RTGS monitored the entire track of
Cyclone Phethai right from its inception from a low pressure system 1400 south east of Bay of Bengal
to the time it formed into a depression, deep depression and severe cyclone until it made landfall off AP
Coast between Kakinada and Yanam.
Schemes under ITE&C:
a. GoAP inaugurated the Andhra Pradesh Cyber Security Operations Centre in April 2018, which is
expected to provide long-term online security, credibly deter potential foes, and keep critical
systems defended.
b. AP Innovation Society (APIS) was set up, with a mandate to promote innovation with the aim of
developing an ecosystem of startups.
c. APIS together with Indian Innovators Association organized India International Innovation Fair in
Vizag. APIS forged a partnership with The Indus Entrepreneurs (TiE), to start TiE Amaravati Chapter.
e. ESD-Mee-Seva
Roll out of kiosks in gram panchayats (GP).
• Out of the 12,920 GPs in the state, ESD-Meeseva could roll out meeseva centers in about 3151 GPs as
of June 2014. Between June 2014 and December 2018, ESD-Meeseva rolled out GPs in about 9200
GPs, and fast approaching saturation. Meeseva kiosks could not be rolled out in the remaining 3720 GPs
due to weak digital connectivity and lack of commercial viability.
Pending beyond SLA (PBSLA) requests.
• An important indicator of government services delivery is the PBSLA metric, which indicates the number
of services that could not be closed by the Government functionaries due to various reasons which
could be due to procedural, legal, and other constraints. ESD-Meeseva engaged with the line departments,
and has reduced this metric from about 3,20,000 (in 2014-15) to about 69,000 in December 2018. ESD-
Meeseva further aims to reduce the PBSLA to about 5,000 by 31-3-19.

of all major rivers in the state. Godavari - Krishna River link, namely Pavithra Sangamam is already
completed with the commissioning of Pattiseema Lift scheme.
• Mega project of Godavari - Penna to transfer 320 TMC of water to the drought prone areas of Guntur,
Prakasm and Nellore district and supply water to Somasila reservoir is proposed to be taken up in five
Phases.
• The phase-1 of the Godavari-Pennar link to supplement water to NSP Right Canal is already commenced.
The works of Vamsadhara -Nagavali link, Nagavali - Swarnamukhi, Vegavathi, Champavathi Rivers
link are in brisk progress. It is also proposed to link Godavari - Champavathi / Nagavali Rivers under
Uttharandhra Sujala Sravanthi. The phase -1 work of this project is already commenced.
• DPR for Vamsadhara - Bahuda rivers link is prepared and the work will be taken up shortly. All these
links will create a grand link of all the major rivers in the name of "Mahasangamam".
Neeru-Chettu / Neeru - Pragathi:
• Government promoted water conservation measures in a mission mode under primary sector mission by
taking up works of deSilting of Tanks, Cascading of Tanks, Construction of Check dams, percolation
Tanks, Farm Ponds etc. and promoting micro irrigation like Drip & sprinkler irrigation.
• 3348 cascades are developed out of total 3587 cascades existing. 8.356 Lakhs farm ponds are excavated.
Due to water conservation measures, 84.51 TMC of water is additionally stored in the tanks and other
water bodies and 7.11 Lakh acres of ayacut is stabilized
• Ground Water: The aim of the Government is to keep the Ground water level between 3 to 8 m. Due to
large scale water conservation measures taken up, area with ground water level greater than 8 m
reduced from 62% to 58%. Deep water level mandals have come down from 200 to 179. Deep water
level villages have come down from 2874 to 2297. There is a saving of about Rs. 440 Cr. in power
charges annually in lifting of ground water. The availability of Ground Water is increased from 646
TMC to 708 TMC
Water Management:
• As a part of better water management practices, it is ensured to release water to Godavari Delta from
1st June onwards. Further, for the first time after last 25 years, water is released to Krishna Delta in the
month of June itself which ensured harvesting of crop by November, thus avoiding damages due to
likely cyclones that occurs during December.
• This has become possible because of diversion of Godavari water into Krishna River through Pattiseema
Scheme. With the transfer of water from Godavari to Krishna, water could be supplied to the drought
prone Rayalaseema region and better yields are realized in Horticulture crops.

103
• Micro Irrigation facilitates are created in 11.30 Lakhs Ac., which facilitated optimum utilization of
water. Community lift cum drip Irrigation work is taken up in Anantapur Dt., in the command area of
