Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu has directed district collectors to focus on investment proposals and continuously take measures to attract industries across districts.
Reviewing investment proposals during the second day of the sixth District Collectors' Conference, the chief minister stressed the need for proactive efforts by collectors to bring investments into the state.
He noted that increased investments will increase the per capita income of people across the state and create employment opportunities for local youth.
The government is developing Visakhapatnam, Amaravati and Tirupati as Economic Region Development areas to accelerate industrial and economic growth.
Naidu instructed collectors to regularly review investment proposals and ensure projects are grounded quickly by expediting approvals and completing land allocations.
He also announced that district-wise rankings will be introduced based on speed of doing business to create competition among collectors.
