CHITTOOR: Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu launched the Jana Nayakudu programme in his home constituency Kuppam on Tuesday to redress public grievances.
During the second day of his visit to Kuppam, Naidu interacted with petitioners at the TDP office. About 25 counters were set up under the supervision of District Collector Sumit Kumar. The grievances received from the people included land disputes, pensions and aid under the Chief Minister’s Relief Fund. Naidu, who listened to the people’s grievances, promised to redress them at the earliest.
The Chief Minister also laid the foundation for several industrial and urban development projects at a programme held at NTR Stadium under the Swarna Kuppam initiative.
Highlighting his vision of transforming Kuppam into a model constituency, Naidu said the projects aim to empower farmers and women, besides developing public infrastructure and boosting the local economy.
Launching the Jana Nayakudu portal, Naidu explained that it aims to deliver good governance, and will soon be extended to the entire State. “I cannot repay the debt of the people of Kuppam, who have elected me for eight consecutive terms,” he said, promising to resolve all public issues on a priority basis.
Naidu highlighted ‘Swarna Kuppam Vision-2029, designed to put Kuppam on the path of rapid economic development. “I am committed to fulfilling all my responsibilities as the Chief Minister, TDP supremo and Kuppam MLA, besides implementing all the election promises made to the people,” he asserted.
Emphasising on all-round development of the constituency through the Kuppam Area Development Authority (KADA), he said, “The Godavari water will reach Rayalaseema, including Kuppam, through interlinking of Godavari and Penna rivers, while Krishna water will be supplied to the region through the Handri-Neeva Sujala Sravanthi by June.”
A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between KADA and the Association of Lady Entrepreneurs of India (ALEAP), Hyderabad was signed in the presence of Naidu.
The MoU aims to establish a Women’s Shakti Bhavan and a Green Industrial Park in Kuppam to promote women entrepreneurship. A total of 19.87 acres of land has been allotted for the development of the Women’s Shakti Bhavan, and the Green Industrial Park. Infrastructure development, training, and capacity-building initiatives will be implemented, benefiting 175 women Self-Help Groups (SHGs).

The initiative aims to encourage women to enter the MSME sector, driving local economic growth.
Addressing TDP activists, Naidu promised to promote them as entrepreneurs, besides allocating nominated posts, and ensuring their welfare. All illegal cases foisted against TDP members and mediapersons during the previous YSRCP regime have been lifted.
Naidu vowed to restore the economic prosperity of the State through initiatives like ‘Jana Nayakudu’ and strategic infrastructure projects.
