Amaravati | Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu has unveiled the Vision 2047 document, outlining the state’s long-term development strategy with water security as one of the top 10 priorities. The comprehensive plan aims to ensure sustainable growth and address critical issues like water scarcity, infrastructure, and economic progress.

Speaking at the launch event, Naidu underscored the importance of water management in achieving the state’s developmental goals. “Water security has been given high priority in the state's long-term development plans,” he stated, adding that efficient water resource management is essential for agriculture, industry, and urban needs.

Highlighting the achievements of the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) in this sector, Naidu said, “90% of irrigation projects, including Somasila, were initiated and completed during the Telugu Desam Party's governance.” These projects have significantly boosted agricultural productivity and ensured water availability in drought-prone regions.
