Farmers across Andhra Pradesh look forward to financial support for their farming needs. The state government has also taken up plans for new industries, irrigation works and infrastructure in Amaravati.
The Andhra Pradesh Cabinet, led by Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu, approved 48 proposals at its meeting on Thursday. One key decision will bring ₹3,125 crore in aid to nearly 46.86 lakh farmer families.
Under the second instalment of the Annadata Sukhibhava–PM KISAN scheme, each eligible family will receive ₹7,000 on Friday, October 30. This amount includes ₹5,000 from the state and ₹2,000 from the Centre.
The Cabinet also cleared ₹1,900 crore in tenders for Amaravati’s government building towers and other works. It approved 250 acres for Amaravati Quantum Valley and a proposed ₹3,700-crore investment by the Renaissance Group in North Andhra.
Other decisions include irrigation projects worth hundreds of crores, industrial incentives and land for an Adani Data Centre in Visakhapatnam.
The government has not released the full list of decisions due to the Model Code of Conduct for local body elections.
