MACRO ECONOMIC AGGREGATES

Gross State Domestic Product
Outcomes on sustained human development depend on several factors such as macroeconomic policies and strategies of the Central and State Governments, particularly relating to health, education and economic growth. The State Domestic Product (SDP) and its related aggregates are important indicators of state economy. Improvement in availability of basic data over the years has helped in reviewing the methodology from time to time for estimating the State Domestic Product, also known as State Income. Updating data from time to time and shifting base year to a more recent year is undertaken regularly so that the structural and sectoral shifts likely to take place in a developing economy can be properly gauged and captured. The Central Statistics Office (CSO) introduced a new series of National Accounts Statistics with base year 2004-05 in place of the previous series with 19992000 base year. This was done to incorporate latest data from various surveys and censuses conducted by State / Central Governments as per latest international standards and to capture the structural changes taking place in the economy. Accordingly, the base year for the state has also been revised and information on State Domestic Product presented in the new series of 200405 base year. The 4th meeting of the Advisory Committee on National Accounts Statistics approved and modified the nomenclature of GDP estimates released at various points of time in a year to alert users about revisions of various estimates of GDP. The changes in the nomenclature are given at the end of the chapter. The State Domestic Product (SDP) is usually estimated by Income originating approach, wherein income generated by the factors of production physically located within the geographical boundaries of the state are aggregated. It represents the value of goods and services produced within the state, counted without duplication during a specific period of time, usually a 12
Chapter
year. The estimates of SDP and related aggregates are generally prepared both at current and constant prices. These estimates of economy over a period of time reveal the extent and direction of changes in the level of economic development. Sectoral composition of SDP gives an idea of the relative position of different sectors in the economy over a period of time which not only indicates the real structural changes taking place in the economy but also facilitates formulation of plans for overall economic development. These estimates when studied in relation to the total population of the state indicate the level of per capita net output of goods and services available or the standard of living of the people in the State. These are referred as estimates of Per Capita Income (PCI). During the 11th Five Year Plan (2007-08 to 2011-12), Andhra Pradesh registered an average growth rate of 8.18% against the Nations GDP growth rate of 8.02% (at constant prices). The GSDP at constant (2004-05) prices for the year 2012-13 (Advance Estimates) is estimated at Rs.4,26,470 crore as against Rs.4,05,046 crore for 2011-12 (First Revised Estimates) indicating a growth of 5.29%. The corresponding sectoral growth rates are 1.96% in Agriculture sector, 0.73% in Industry sector and 8.45% in the Services sector.
Sectoral Composition of GSDP

The sectoral composition of GSDP both at current and constant (2004-05) prices has undergone considerable change during the past few years with the shift happening essentially from Agriculture sector to Services sector. In 2004-05, the share of Agriculture in the GSDP at constant (2004-05) prices was 25.1%, Industry 24.3% and Services sector 50.6%. In 2012-13, the share of agriculture in the GSDP declined to 18.7% and Services sector was the gainer whose contribution moved up to 57.7%. The Industry sector has not shown much variation and continues to hover around 24% mark.

Per Capita Income is a pointer for the standard of living of people. As per the Advance estimates of 2012-13,
Gross Fixed Capital Formation

The growth of productive capacity of the economy of a state depends on its rate of capital accumulation and is assessed by estimating the capital formation of that state. The higher the rate of capital accumulation, the higher would be the growth of the productive capacity of the economy, where as its paucity leads to low level of production with higher cost. Thus Capital Formation assumes paramount importance in the context of policy making by the State and Central Governments. It reveals the potentiality of the investments in the public as well as the private sectors and gives the net addition of assets created during the year. Estimates of Gross Capital Formation (GCF) consists of Gross Fixed Capital Formation (GFCF) and changes in stock. GFCF is a better indicator than GCF since changes in stock is subject to more fluctuations and also because of the non-availability of information on stocks in most of the private sector industry groups. Hence, the estimates are confined to GFCF rather than GCF at current prices. For measurement of GFCF at State level, expenditure approach is followed as the data on imports and exports of capital goods across the state boundaries and net inflow of resources from outside the State are not available. The GFCF by industry group has been revised from 2004-05 to 2009-10 due to the revision of supra-regional sub-sectors data by the Central Statistics Office. Gross Fixed Capital Formation in Andhra Pradesh for the year 2010-11 (SRE) at current prices is Rs.1,54,586 crore as against Rs.1,31,333 crore in 2009-10 reflecting a growth rate of 17.71%. During 2010-11, the GFCF at national level was Rs.24,74,464 crore as against Rs.20,55,772 crore in 2009-10 showing a growth rate of 20.37%. Details of GFCF of A.P and All India from 2004-05 to 2010-11 (SRE) at current prices are shown in Table 2.3. Table 2.3 : Gross Fixed Capital Formation in Andhra Pradesh and All India at current prices
The Gross Fixed Capital Formation as a percentage to Gross State Domestic Product at current Prices is one of the indicators for measuring the productive potential of investments made during a year at state level.

PRICES, WAGES AND PUBLIC DISTRIBUTION

PRICES
One of the foremost concerns of Governments is to have a regular and periodic check on the movement of prices of essential commodities since a change in price level is likely to have an impact on the pattern of consumption of the consumer. This confers great importance on collection and analysis of prices. The Directorate of Economics and Statistics collects the prices of essential commodities from selected centres across the State on daily basis. Rice, Red gramdal, Groundnut Oil, Tamarind (without seed), Red Chillies (dry) and Onions are the essential commodities that are being monitored. The State average daily retail prices of essential commodities are shown in Table 4.1. Table 4.1 : State average daily retail prices of essential commodities
Chapter
(Without seed), Red Chillies Dry (Gr II) and Onions (Gr II) have shown a decreasing trend in the period April to December 2012 compared to the corresponding period of last year. Price Index is a statistical tool for measuring the relative change in price level with reference to time, geographical location and other characteristics. It is also considered as a barometer of economic activity. Consumer Price Index is of great relevance for this purpose and is used as a device for measuring changes in the level of retail prices of goods and services consumed by concerned population segments. Industrial Workers and Agricultural Labour are the main population groups usually covered by these indices.
Consumer Price Indices for Industrial Workers

The Consumer Price Indices for Industrial Workers (CPIIW) Old Base 1982=100 was replaced with the New Base 2001=100 from January, 2006. Twelve centers in Andhra Pradesh were selected both for Central and State Series based on Industrial workforce for the construction and compilation of CPI Numbers for Industrial Workers with New Base 2001=100. These centres are 1.Hyderabad, 2.Visakhapatnam, 3.Warangal, 4.Guntur, 5.Vijayawada, 6.Godavarikhani, 7.Vijaya-nagaram-Chittivalasa,8.Kakinada- Rajahmundry, 9.Jaggaiahpet - Miryalaguda, 10.Tirupati - Renigunta, 11. Kothagudem- Palwancha and 12. NizamabadBodhan. Labour Bureau, Simla compiles the index for the first six selected centres since they are treated as Central Series, while the State Directorate of Economics and Statistics compiles the index covering the remaining six complex centres in Andhra Pradesh. Consumer Price Indices for Industrial Workers increased by 10% both in the State and All India level during the period from April to November 2012 over the corresponding period of previous year.

Consumer Price Index Numbers for Rural, Urban and Combined.

The Government of India observed that Consumer Price Index (CPI) Numbers compiled and released for industrial workers, agricultural labourers and rural labourers, reflect the fluctuations in retail prices pertaining to these specific segments only and do not encompass all segments of the population and as such do not reflect the true picture of price behavior in the country. It therefore wanted to have a new series of CPI for the entire urban population, viz. CPI (Urban), and CPI for the entire rural population, viz. CPI (Rural), which will reflect changes in price levels of various goods and services consumed by urban and rural population respectively. Consequently, the Central Statistics Office (CSO) of the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation recently introduced a new series of overall Consumer Price Indices for rural, urban and combined on base 2010=100 for all India and States/ Union Territories from January 2011. These new indices are compiled at State/UT and all-India levels. The average Consumer Price Indices during April to December 2012 for rural and combined in Andhra Pradesh were less than that of India. The average indices for the period April to December 2012 in AP and All India are shown in Table 4.4. Table 4.4 : Average Consumer Price Index Numbers for Rural, Urban and Combined (Apr-Dec.12)

AGRICULTURE AND ALLIED ACTIVITIES

AGRICULTURE
Expansion of farm incomes continues to be an effective weapon for reducing poverty as more than half of the States population remains dependent on some form of farm activity for livelihoods. Rapid and sustainable growth in Agriculture has been identified not only as a key driver for economic development but also for achieving self sufficiency and ensuring food security to the people. Andhra Pradesh over the decades has witnessed gradual transformation of the agricultural sector. The nature of the transformation itself has undergone change overtime. During 1980s, there was a shift in agriculture from traditional cereal-based system towards commercial commodities such as oilseeds, cotton and sugarcane. By 1990s, even though the crop sector witnessed high volatility due to consecutive droughts and decelerating crop yields, the transformation continued towards high-value commodities such as fruits, vegetables, milk, meat, poultry and fish. In fact, high-value commodities performed impressively and rescued the agriculture sector to a great extent. Priority was accorded to the Agricultural sector during 11th Five Year Plan period with the objective of shifting the excess labour force from the sector to other nonfarm rural sectors such as rural industry through skill development to improve productivity. Ensuring food security and provision of gainful employment continues to be the essential premise of socio economic development and employment guarantee schemes like Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGS) and other Rural Livelihoods programmes. Improving farm incomes and ensuring sustainable growth in agriculture and allied sectors are of top priority for the state. In Agriculture, the priority accorded to irrigation on the one hand and the various farmer friendly initiatives put in place on the other, have helped the State achieve set growth targets during the 11th Plan.
Chapter
The State enjoys pre-eminence in crop production. With renewed focus on micro irrigation, System of Rice Intensification (SRI) cultivation, micronutrient application, development of dry land agriculture, farm mechanization, increasing storage capacity and other agriculture related strategies. Andhra Pradesh is set to scale new heights in agriculture during the 12th Five Year Plan.

Different Soil Types

Sand, silt, and clay are the basic types of soil. Most soils are made up of a combination of these three. The texture of the soil, how it looks and feels, depends upon the amount of each one in that particular soil. There are various types of soils and the formation of soil is primarily influenced by major factors such as climate, altitude and composition of bedrock etc. Disproportion in the annual distribution of rainfall in the country and excessive heat contribute special characters to the soils. In Andhra Pradesh, five different types of soils exist. The entire geographical area of the State can be divided into 5 categories of soils spread across 9 agro-climatic zones as follows: 1. Red Soils 182 lakh hects.(66%) 2. Black Soils 68 lakh hects.(25%) 3. Delta alluvial Soils-14 Lakh hects (5%) 4. Coastal and Laterite soils 8 Lakh hects (3%) 5. Saline & Alkaline Soils -3 lakh hects.

Under this policy, fixed subsidy is extended on fertilizer products (DAP & Complexes except Urea) based on Nutrient content. The fertilizer companies are to decide MRPs based on the cost of the raw materials/ finished goods (FGs) in the international market. The Government of India communicated the subsidy fixed per kg on nutrients for the year 2012-13 w. e. f from 01-04-2012 viz: Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Potash and Sulphur are Rs. 24.00, Rs. 21.80, Rs. 24.00 and Rs. 1.68 respectively.
Subsidy Seed Distribution

11.36 lakh qtls. of seed was distributed at a subsidy of Rs.167.62 crore during Kharif 2011 and about 5.20 lakh qtls of seeds was distributed at a subsidy of Rs.85.69 crore during Rabi 2011-12. In total (Kharif + Rabi) 16.56 lakh quintals of seeds were distributed under different schemes involving a subsidy of Rs.253.31 crore.
Kharif 2012: About 15.18 lakh qtls of seed was
Pesticides
The chemical pesticide consumption during the year 2011-12 is 5119 M.T.s of active ingredient during Kharif and 4170 of active ingredient during Rabi and the biopesticides consumption is 22.0 M.Ts of active ingredient during Kharif 2011. The pesticide consumption increased slightly compared to last years consumption i.e.2010-11 due to an increase in area under I.D. crops specially cotton, soybean etc. Awareness was created among farmers on Integrated Pest Management practices by conducting Polambadi programmes in farmers fields, introduction of Bt. Cotton seeds, usage of biopesticides etc., to reduce consumption of chemical pesticides. Pesticide consumption in the State was 2619 M.T.s of active ingredient during Kharif of 2012-13. The pesticide consumption particulars from 2007-08 to Sept-2012 over the years is shown in Table 5.4. Table 5.4 : Utilization of Pesticides
( M.Ts )
planned for distribution under subsidy programme under different schemes like NFSM, RKVY, ISOPOM and NSP, out of which 10.47 lakh qtls of seed at a value of Rs. 159.80 crore was distributed during Kharif 2012. Details about the area covered under High Yielding Varieties are given in Annexure 5.11.
Fertilizer Policy Initiatives

Fertilizer consumption during the year 2011-12 in terms of product was 70.83 LMTs (Kharif 34.28 LMTs and Rabi 36.55 LMTs). The consumption in terms of nutrients (N, P, K) was 33.43 LMTs (16.13 LMTs during Kharif 2011 and 17.30 LMTS during Rabi).

Farm Mechanization Scheme

Farm equipment like land preparatory, sowing equipment, plant protection equipment, self-propelled machinery, power tillers, tractors, inter cultivation equipment etc, which are used in farming operations and post-harvest equipment are being supplied under subsidy. It is proposed to facilitate supplies worth of Rs. 2500 crore in three years starting from 2012-13. Nearly Rs. 700 crore worth of farm equipment will be supplied during 2012-13. The total expenditure spent on Farm mechanization during 2011-12 was Rs.205.00 crore. The State was allocated funds through Rashtriya Krishi Vikas Yojana Rs.190.00 Crore, FM scheme (MMA&NSP)-Rs. 143.00 Crore, National Food Security Mission- Rs.18.00 Crore during 2012-13. Contrary to the previous implementation process, this year the Government introduced a new system of setting subsidy limits for each and every farm equipment being supplied under Subsidy scheme. The subsidy limit was enhanced from Rs.30,000/- to Rs. 50,000/-on rotovators the first of its kind in the country to promote modern farm equipment which can do more than two operations at a time. Rs.150.00 crore worth farm equipment (Rs.75.00 crore subsidy) was already supplied to the districts during 2012-13 so far. The farmer is given the option to place purchase order in the name of chosen supplier duly enclosing non subsidy portion in the name of the supplier for the required farm equipment. The quality of the equipment being supplied is monitored using quality control teams in the districts. It is proposed to introduce establishment of Custom Hiring Stations in mandals for major crops grown in AP like, Paddy, Maize, Groundnut, Cotton and other crops like Sugarcane and Tobacco to make high cost machinery available to small and marginal farmers. Almost Rs.90.00 crore will be spent for this purpose during the year. Implement Service Station is proposed to be introduced in gram panchayat level to make commonly used farm equipment like cultivators, seed drills, and plant protection spraying equipment available to all farmers. About Rs. 25.00 crore will be spent on this component. Implement Service Stations will serve as the nodal points to rent commonly used equipment to farmers on nominal hiring charges fixed by villagers. These shall be operated by the villagers themselves. This will reduce the financial burden on farmers for buying farm equipment which is used only for a few days in a year. 33
It is also proposed to introduce hiring of processing machinery for seeds purpose, post-harvest equipment like cleaners, graders, dryers, weighing machines, moisture meters, stitching machines, tarpaulins at the Gram panchayat level. Fiber body are introduced for direct sowing purpose to mitigate erratic rainfall, drum seeders. Farm Machinery exhibitions are conducted in every district to bring awareness about use of mechanized equipment and to reduce cost of cultivation. permanent display centers are being established by Agros to make farmers understand the features of modern agricultural machines. The achievements under Farm Mechanization scheme are shown in Table 5.5.

Modified National Agriculture Insurance Scheme

Apart from NAIS, Modified National Agricultural Insurance Scheme was launched in the State during Rabi 2010-11 on pilot basis in 3 District of Prakasam, Nellore and Warangal. The scheme contains additional farmersfriendly features such as localized calamities such as Hailstorm and Post harvest losses for which farmer wise assessment is taken up for settlement of claims. As rice is a major crop in these districts it was notified for implementation under Village as Unit. The modified pilot scheme was continued in East Godavari, West Godavari and Krishna during Kharif and Prakasam, Nellore and Warangal during Rabi seasons for the benefit of farmers.
Pavala Vaddi Scheme on Crop Loans

The Government of Andhra Pradesh introduced Pavala Vaddi Scheme (at 3% interest) on Crop loans from 2008 to reduce the financial burden on farmers. All loanee farmers who availed crop loans from Scheduled Commercial Banks/ Cooperatives/ RRBs and repaid the crop loan within the due date of 31st March for kharif loans and 30th June for Rabi loans benefited under this Scheme.
Agricultural Credit

An amount of Rs. 330.10 crore was credited to 18.57 lakh farmers under Interest Waiver Scheme (16 flood effected districts) during 2011- 12.
Polambadi Programme
Increased use of chemical pesticides for controling pests and diseases is leading to increasing cost of cultivation and poor quality of produce, reducing market price and returns. Training is being provided to farmers through the FFS model to familiarize them about the hazards and disturbing impact of chemical pesticides on the natural ecosystem. The trainings enables farmers to take economic decisions through adoption of practices like Integrated Crop Management (ICM) through incorporating principles of growing healthy crops, conserving natural enemies, conducting regular field observations and make them ICM experts. One Polambadi by the ADA (R) in each division, one by MAO and one by each AEO in the mandal is organized. The Polambadi programme is being done from seed to seed so that farmers can observe and analyze the dynamics of crop ecology across the season. Polambadi is conducted in paddy, maize, pulses, oil seeds, cotton & coarse cereals. The size of the Polambadi is 10 ha. with about 30 farmers. Field observation will be done on the polambadi day. A season long training programme on Cotton is also being organized in Warangal during Kharif-2012. Details about Polam badi programmes organized are shown in Table 5.6. 35
Adarsha Rythu
AP introduced the Adarsha Rythu system in the year 2007-08. The main objective behind the identification of Adarsha Rythus is to create a nodal functionary between the farmers and extension staff of agriculture and other line departments to help bridge the gap between the scientific know-how and field level do-how. 49,161 Adarsha Rythus were deployed as against the target of 50,000 in the state to strengthen extension services in the State. There are about 39,804 Adarsha Rythus working in the state presently. Adarsha Rythus assist extension staff in implementation of schemes like Polam Badi, Seed Village Programme, Organic farming, Rashtriya Krishi Vikasa Yojana, National Food Security Mission etc. Adarsha Rythus are involved in day to day actions with regard to schemes and technology subsidized input availability & procedures to avail the same, the broad regulatory mechanism for inputs and steps to be taken in case of failure of a particular input. Adarsha Rythus are actively involved in mobilizing farmers in special campaigns like Rythu Chaitanya Yatra, Rythu Sadassu,

Yeruvaka Purnima is to gear up the farming community for starting agricultural operations in their farms with the onset of the south west monsoon and to inspire farmers harness higher productivity in agriculture in the ensuing season. Yeruvaka Purnima was organized on 4th June 2012 in 7 districts where elections were not being held and budget met from ATMA funds. Exhibition stalls on Agriculture were organized by the Staff members of FTC. Live demonstration like seed treatment, farm implements, soil sampling, precautions regarding handling of the pesticides, live models etc. were also organized to create awareness among the farmers.
Extension Reforms Agriculture Technology Management Agency

Government of India has introduced the Support to State Extension Programmes for Extension -Reforms (ATMA) Scheme from 1st June 2005 in a phased manner which is currently operational in 591 Districts of 29 States and 2 UTs. As a part of this scheme, the 36
Guidelines of the Programme

The main scheme to operationalize agricultural extension reforms across the country is Support to State Extension Programmes for Extension Reforms (ATMA). Funding support is provided to the State for undertaking extension reforms within the broad purview of the Policy Framework for Agriculture
Extension (PFAE), complying with its key areas/norms, and shall be based on Extension Work Plans prepared by the State. Funds shall be released to the States based on their Extension Work plans developed within the broad framework of the PFAE and areas indicated under reform oriented activities. The States have the responsibility of implementing the extension reforms at district level. ATMA is a district level autonomous institution having membership of all key stakeholders involved in agricultural activities. It has the flexibility to receive funds directly (Government of India/States, Membership fees, beneficiary contribution etc). It has the key responsibility of disseminating all technology activities at the district level. It has linkages with all the line departments, research organizations, non-governmental organizations, agencies associated with agricultural development in the district and farmer organizations. Research and extension units within the district, such as KVKs, ZRSs, Department of Agriculture, Horticulture, Animal Husbandry, Fisheries, Sericulture, Marketing, etc, are its constituent members. ATMA is supported by a Governing Board and a Management Committee. Block level Farm Information and Advisory Centers (FIACs) have been created which are operated by a Block Technology Team (BTT) of technical advisors and a Farmer Advisory Committee (FAC), an exclusive group of farmers under each ATMA. Commodity oriented Farmer Interest Groups (FIGs) are being promoted at block / village level to make the technology generation/ dissemination farmer driven and farmer accountable. In order to provide needed HRD support in innovative areas of extension delivery, a State Agricultural Management and Extension Training Institute (SAMETI) has also been established in the project states. To overcome the systemic constraints being faced by the Extension system in the Country, Government of India has revised the on going ATMA scheme guidelines w.e.f 1-4-2010. The revised ATMA guidelines contain additional / new activities and enhanced costs in some cases. Few important / new components of ATMA are as follows: 1. Specialist & Functionary support at State level, District & Block level 2. Innovative support through Farmer Friends at Village level
3. Support to SAMETIs for creating essential infrastructure 4. Delegation of powers to State level sanctioning committees. The GOI has given provision for placement of 935 posts at various levels in the revised guidelines to the State. So far GOAP has given permission for placement of 932 posts and the placements of total sanctioned posts have been completed at various levels.
Strategic Research and Extension Plan

One of the first tasks of ATMA is facilitation of the preparation of Strategic Research and Extension Plan (SREP) of the district. The SREP is prepared through participatory methodologies such as Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) involving all stakeholders and farmers. The SREP contains detailed analysis of all information on existing farming systems in the district and research extension gaps required to be filled-up. It also prioritizes research extension strategies within the district. It becomes the basis for development of work plans at blocks/ district level. All the 22 ATMA districts have developed their respective Strategic Research and Extension Plans. As the validity of SREPs is five years, the State has already initiated revisiting of the SREPs of ATMA districts whose stipulated time of 5 years was already completed.
State Extension Work Plan

The block / district level plans for the year 2012-13 based on the research-extension strategies given in the SREPs, were developed by all the ATMA districts as per the revised ATMA scheme guidelines and cost norms. The consolidated State Extension Work Plan for the year 2012-13 was developed at state level and submitted to the GOI with an out lay of Rs. 5879.74 Lakh. The District Action Plans developed under the scheme are to be consistent with Article 243 ZD of the Constitution. GOI has given administrative approval for Rs 5876.69 Lakh for the year 2012-13 and released an amount of Rs 14.60 crore (50 %) of the tentative allocation of Rs 29.21crore and revalidated the balance amount of Rs 6.31 crore for implementation of the activities. Accordingly the districts are organizing need based activities like farmer trainings, demos, exposure visits, Kisan melas, field days, farmer scientist interaction etc. Nearly 0.48
37
lakh beneficiaries were covered under different farm oriented activities during the current year so far.
Major Activities organized during 2011-12

National Food Security Mission

The National Food Security Mission is under implementation in the state since Rabi-2007-08 with the following objectives.
another objective of A3P is to stimulate farmers in adjoining areas to adopt these technologies. As far as the Action Plan for Rs.151 crore of 2012-13 is concerned, Rs. 80 crore was released and out of this Rs.45 crore released for the 19+ Million Tonnes Pulses Production Programme. In mid Kharif 2012, the Government of India gave approval for implementation of a special plan to achieve 19+ million tonnes of pulse production during Kharif 2012-13 with a total allocation of Rs.1544.00 Lakh comprising Rs.10730.00 Lakh for activities to be under taken under NFSM and Rs. 4624.00 Lakh for activities to be undertaken within Micro Irrigation Scheme. The total allocation given by GoI for A.P. has been Rs.840.00 Lakh under NFSM Scheme and the same amount has been released to the State. The plan basically envisages utilization of new areas through intercropping, improving planting techniques and Irrigation use efficiency for inclusive water management and use of important critical but low cost inputs like Sulphur and Weedicides and productivity boosters. These include use of Drip & Sprinkler sets, intercropping of pulses with soybean, coarse cereals and Oil seeds.
Objectives
Increasing production of rice and pulses through area expansion and productivity enhancement in a sustainable manner in the identified Districts in the State. Restoring soil fertility and productivity at the individual farm level. Creation of employment opportunities Enhancing farm level economy i.e. farm profits to restore confidence in farmers. The scheme is under implementation in 11 districts for Rice & 22 districts for pulses.

An amount of Rs. 7999.52 Lakh was released and so far an amount of Rs.4526.05 Lakh expenditure incurred up to September 2012.
State Initiatives System of Rice Intensification

Promotion of System of Rice Intensification (SRI) is an important intervention under NFSM for increasing production and productivity of rice in the State. The objective is to produce more rice with less water. SRI also has various other advantages. Intensive efforts are being made in the State for promotion of this system under tanks, wells, bore wells and tail end areas. Intensive trainings were organized for extension staff and farmers duly involving ANGRAU, ICRISAT, DRR and NGOs. Wide publicity was also done. An area of 153483 ha was covered under SRI cultivation during Kharif 2012. An area of 5.00 Lakh ha is targeted to be covered under SRI by direct seeding, line planting and drum seeder during 2012-13.
Accelerated Pulses Production Programme

The A3P seeks to demonstrate plant nutrients and plant protection centric improved technologies and management practices in compact blocks covering large area for four major pulse crops namely gram, urad (Blackgram), arhar (Redgram / pigeon pea) and moong (Greengram) for increasing production and productivity of these crops. Apart from increasing the production and productivity of pulse crops by participating farmers 39
COOPERATION
Cooperatives have traditionally been promoted and organized in a democratic and structural frame work for achieving social and economic betterment of people.
Different types of cooperatives are organized essentially to provide agricultural credit to member-farmers so as to enhance employment to its members and for alleviating rural poverty.

Forest cover has been recognized as critical for a living environment as it influences the quality and quantity of air and water. The role of forests as carbon sinks endows them added recognition as an important environmental factor. With the responsibility of management of forests vested with the State Forest administration, the Central interventions are directed essentially towards reinforcing capacity of States to undertake the National Policy mandates towards conservation and sustainable use of resources. The core objective of forest sector development strategy is to enhance green cover by integrating it with livelihood opportunities. The tangible benefits derived from Forests like Timber, Bamboo, Fuel wood, Fodder, Non-Timber forest Products etc., are quantifiable. Intangible benefits like maintenance of ecological balance, conservation of soil and moisture, regulating the water flow, sequestering carbon-dioxide from the atmosphere etc., are not quantified but are of great significance. Andhra Pradesh is the second largest State in forest area in India. As per the records of the Forest department
be brought under tree cover by taking up tree plantation both inside and outside forest under Green India Mission programme to achieve the target of (33%) area under tree cover by the end of XI Five Year Plan (2007-12).

Research and Development

Andhra Pradesh State Sericulture Research and Development Institute, Hindupur was established in 1995 with the main intention of evolving new races, capable of producing International grade cocoons / silk. A new project called Identification of DNA markers for baculovirus resistance in Silkworm was presented to DBT New Delhi for financial sanction. Six new hybrids developed by the institute have been submitted for National Silk Worm Race Authorisation. Bivoltine hybrids with disease resistance races are under field trials. In addition certain eco-friendly user disinfectants such as Seri-Gold, Seri-Clean, Seri- Plus, Shakthi and Abhya etc that were released in the fields by farmers, increased production of cocoons from 5 Kgs to 10 Kgs.

AGRICULTURAL MARKETING
Well-functioning markets are essential for driving up growth in the agriculture sector and for generating employment & economic prosperity in rural areas. With the fast changing production-consumption scenario, the requirement of cold storages in markets has increased manifold especially where perishable commodities are brought for sale. Currently agriculture markets are regulated under respective State Agriculture Produce Marketing yards all over the country. In Andhra Pradesh, comprehensive market legislation covering the entire state came into force in 1966 called the Andhra Pradesh (Agricultural Produce and Livestock) Markets Act 1966,
notified agricultural produce payable by purchasers of produce. Market fee is the only source of income for Market Committee, which is self generating and is called Market Committee Fund deposited in a scheduled bank operated through treasury. The market fee is utilized mainly for development of markets and creation of facilities to users of markets i.e., growers and traders and other functionaries and for other allied purposes specified by the Government from time to time. The Market Committees collected Rs. 543.53 crore towards market fee during 2011-12 and Rs. 277.89 crore during 2012-13 (up to Oct. 2012). The Market Committees remits 10% of the annual income to a separate fund called Central Market Fund (CMF). This fund is under the control and operation of the Commissioner & Director of Agricultural Marketing. The Central Market Fund is used to mainly provide loans to Market Committees besides grant-in-aid to financially weak Market Committees. Government is empowered to spend the CMF by special or general order for any purpose for the development of agricultural marketing and its allied activities. Keeping in view these objectives, the Department has envisaged a Farmers Charter for implementation. The charter provides for: 1. Right of information regarding prices 2. Ensuring fair value for the produce 3. Ensuring accurate weighing 4. Freedom from unscrupulous traders and trade practices 5. Ensuring payment on the same day 6. Providing human and animal health care 7. Providing quality inputs The Department installed computers at 334 Market Yards for regular inflow of information on prices. It also installed Audio Video Display systems (AVDS) at 50 market yards so far. Prices of all major commodities are displayed through these video systems for the benefit of farmers every day. NIC established a website: market. ap.nic.in for the display of prevailing market prices and departmental information. Administrative measures have been taken for tracking farmers at major market yards under help the farmer programme. Under this, market yards have been divided into segments. Each segment has been entrusted to a responsible officer. This Officer shall, during arrivals, take notice of every farmer who comes with his produce into his segment. 74
He will help the farmer to get a fair price, for accurate weighment and also make sure of prompt payment. This system has paid rich dividends in winning goodwill of farmers. Electronic Weighing machines have been introduced in important market yards for ensuring accurate weighment of farmers produce. Market Rules have been amended for use of only electronic weighing machines.
Rythu Bandhu Pathakam

Under the Rythu Bandhu Pathakam, the department spent Rs.3.93 crore during 2012-13 for providing pledge loan to farmers to help them avoid distress sale of their produce. 840 farmers in 2012-13 (up to Oct.) benefited as against 3024 farmers in 2010-11 under Rythu Bandhu Pathakam. No interest is charged for the first 3 months. There are no budgetary restrictions for sanction of loans under this scheme.
Rythu Bazars
There is a network of 107 Rythu Bazars in the State. On an average about 45,000 farmers sell over 1.90 Lakh quintals of vegetables, every week through these Rythu Bazars directly to the consumers. Mobile Rythu Bazars are operating in Hyderabad and Vijayawada cities for selling graded vegetables. This has proved to be successful. (A separate website was created exclusively for Rythu Bazars for arrivals and price information. (www.rythubazars.com or 121.243.139.68/rbz).
Farmer and Animal health camps

The department conducts farmer and animal health camps with Rs 60,000 and Rs 40,000 respectively provided in the Budget 2012-13. In addition to the above, modernization and development of market yards has been taken up with the Government of India assistance as detailed below: 6-Markets, viz., Suryapet, Miryalaguda, Devarakadra, Gadwal, Pargi and Mulugu, have been identified for modernization under the scheme with an outlay of Rs.22.93 crore for 95 Works with 50% loan from banks and 25% contribution from AMCs and 25% backend subsidy. Terminal markets are proposed at Hyderabad, Visakhapatnam, Tirupati and Guntur to deal with perishable commodities (fruits and vegetables). Action has to be initiated as per the recently revised guidelines.
INDUSTRIES
The XII Plan document of the Goverment of India highlighted the importance of industry sector in enhancing growth avenues and providing employement. Improving manufacturing sector is identified as the key strategy to push growth in the industry sector.

Further, financial services such as banking, industrial and commercial development, tourism and entertainment and other segments also contribute the growth process. A fast growing economy warrants an even faster development of infrastructure. Besides governmental efforts in creating public infrastructure, the role of private sector in the provision of infrastructure through public-private partnerships (PPPs) and exclusive private sector in certain areas such as transport, communications, entertainment etc., hasten up the pace of infrastructure growth.

IRRIGATION
Irrigation development as well as its management is of utmost importance in the State. Andhra Pradesh is rightly called A River State as it is blessed with major river systems like the Godavari, Krishna, Pennar, Vamsadhara and 36 other rivulets. The states share of dependable flows at 75% dependability from the river systems is estimated at 2764 TMC (Thousand Million Cubic Feet). This breaks up into 1480 TMC from the Godavari River system, 811 TMC (800 TMC + 11 TMC regeneration) from the Krishna, 98 TMC from the Pennar and the rest from other rivers. The entire dependable water share of Krishna River is fully harnessed through construction of several reservoirs and barrages. The yield from Godavari River is being utilized to an extent of 720 TMC for existing projects with the surplus flows aggregating to an average of 4000 TMC flowing un-utilized into the sea. The total utilization of river yields only for the existing projects works out to 1765 TMC showing that there is a vast scope for tapping water resources and creation of irrigation potential. 91
Five year plans initiated since independence and increasing investment in irrigation sector has led to agricultural growth. Major Projects such as K.C. Canal, Kaddam, TBP HLC Stage-I & Rojalibanda Diversion Scheme and Godavari Barrage and Prakasam Barrage have been constructed in place of the age old anicuts on Godavari & Krishna Rivers. About 94 Major and Medium Irrigation projects were completed during the 1st to 11th plan and an amount of Rs.98,765.17 Crore spent from Plan I to up to October 2012. Projects like Nagarjuna Sagar, Sriram Sagar, Telugu Ganga, Somasila, SRBC, SLBC, Vamsadhara along with medium and minor schemes that were also taken up during the plan period are at various stages of completion. During 2004, the Government initiated measures for fully utilizing available yields of Godavari and other rivers and initiated a historical beginning named Jalayagnam with the aim to complete ongoing and new projects in a record time and provide immediate irrigation to water starving segments on top priority by mobilizing funds from all possible sources. Presently, 86 projects (44 Major + 30 Medium + 4 Flood Banks + 8 Modernisation) are being considered under Jalayagnam. The completion of the above projects, will create new irrigation potential of 97.069 lakh acres and stabilize 22.54 lakh acres. During 2004-05 to 2012-13
(up to Sep.12), 14 projects were completed and water released for 23 more projects creating partial irrigation potential. Remaining projects are programmed to be completed in a time bound and planned manner. From 2004-05 to 2012-13, 21.43 lakh acres of irrigation potential (17.47 lakh acres new and 3.96 lakh acres stabilization) was created under Major and Medium irrigation projects. 8.25 lakh acres of irrigation potential was created under Minor irrigation sources and APSIDC irrigation projects. 29.68 lakh acres of new Irrigation potential created from 2004-05 to 2012-13 (up to September-2012) including 3.96 lakh acres stabilized under Major, Medium, Minor and APSIDC. Financial assistance from World Bank, JBIC, NABARD and from Govt. of India under AIBP is being obtained and the works are in progress for the early completion of ongoing projects. Most of the sites suitable for gravity irrigation schemes have already been exhausted and upland areas which cannot be commanded by gravity flows are planned to be developed under Major Lift Irrigation schemes. In view of the above, the Government has programmed the following special lift irrigation schemes: Dr. B.R. Ambedkar Pranahitha - Chevella Sujala Sravanthi, a mega Irrigation project was taken up with a cost of Rs.38,500 Crore for diverting 160 TMC of water from river Pranahitha, a tributary of river Godavari, and it is in progress. This will create a new ayacut of about 16.40 lakh acres in Adilabad, Karimnagar, Warangal, Nizamabad, Medak, Nalgonda and Ranga Reddy districts along with providing drinking water facilities for enroute villages and to the industrial needs of Hyderabad. A. Mahatma Jyothi Rao Pule Dummugudem Nagarjuna Sagar Tail Pond is contemplated to lift 165 TMC of water from River Godavari during flood season from Dummugudem Anicut upstream and carry it to Nagarjuna sagar Project Tail Pond to supplement irrigation under Nagarjuna Sagar Project with a cost of Rs.19521.42 crore. B. Chinthalapudi Lift Irrigation scheme has been taken up to irrigate 2 lakh acres in upland areas of West Godavari and Krishna districts with a cost of Rs.1701 Crore and is under progress. C. Babu Jagjeevan Ram Uttarandhra Sujala Sravanthi Project is being taken up with a cost of Rs.7214 Crore to create an ayacut of 8 lakh acres in the upland areas of 92
Srikakulam, Vijayanagaram and Visakhapatnam districts. D. The Government accorded administrative approval to P.V.

Assessment of water resources potential-availability/ yield assessment. Estimation of design flood ;and Sediment rate estimation HDAs are being developed to overcome limitations of current design practices and to standardize these practices for uniform use all over the country. This software will incorporate all approaches currently being followed in India (Hydro-metrological statistics and regions) up-to date and also utilize internationally used methodologies. The following projects are executed in Command Area Development Authority to improve the capacity of Irrigation systems.
GROUND WATER
Groundwater is one of the major sources of drinking water in both urban and rural areas. Besides, it is an important source of water for agricultural and industrial sector. Being an important and integral part of the hydrological cycle, its availability depends on rainfall and recharge conditions. The demand for water has increased over the years led to water scarcity in many parts of the world. During the past two decades, the water levels in several parts have been falling rapidly due to an increase in ground water extraction. The number of wells drilled for irrigation of both food and cash crops has rapidly and indiscriminately increased. Intense competition among users viz., agriculture, industry, and domestic sectors is driving groundwater table lower. The National Water Policy (1987) calls for controls on exploitation of groundwater through regulation and an integrated and coordinated development of surface-and groundwater.
Functions
Periodic estimation of groundwater resources of the state on a watershed approach and according clearances to minor irrigation schemes. Detailed investigations for delineation of potential zones and selection of well sites, to be implemented by developmental agencies and individuals. Investigations for identification of feasible areas and suitable sites for artificial recharge and rainwater harvesting structures. Drilling of exploratory cum production bore / tube wells to study sub surface configuration of aquifers and assess aquifer parameters Monitoring of groundwater levels and quality through a network of observation wells, stream flow check points and improved network of piezometers with Automatic Water Level Recorders. Conjunctive use studies in selected major command areas Special studies for evaluating groundwater regime through modern tools like, aerial photographs, satellite imagery, Geographical Information System etc., in relation to development and management activities under various programs. From 2009-10 onwards, the department shifted its focus 94
Andhra Pradesh Irrigation Livelihood Implementation Project

55 new minor irrigation Tanks in 48 surplus river basins with an estimation of Rs. 257.79 crore to create new irrigation potential of 0.42 lakh acres are proposed under the Andhra Pradesh Irrigation Livelihood Implementation Project (APILIP). Out of 55 minor irrigation tanks, 10 are completed 37 are in progress and remaining 8 are to be grounded. The expenditure incurred up to September, 2012 for creation of new infrastructure was Rs. 112.71 crore.
The development of Irrigation potential and its utilization is given in Annexure 7.1. Minor Irrigation Census
As per the 4th Minor Irrigation Census, there were 23.06 lakh minor irrigation sources in Andhra Pradesh in 2006-07 as against 20.36 lakh sources as per 3rd Minor Irrigation Census 2000-01, registering an increase of 13.28%. The statement showing data on Minor Irrigation sources from 1986-87 to 2006-07 is given in Annexure-7.2.
to management by adopting Community Based Ground Water Management (CBGWM).
Estimation of Groundwater Resources

The state has been divided into 1229 watersheds (which are also called groundwater basins or assessment units) for estimation of groundwater resources. The last estimation was done in 2010-11 with 2008-09 data base. Categorization of watersheds/ mandals/ villages is made based on stage of ground water development. Details of the categorization of ground water development are shown in table 7.2. Table 7.2 : Ground Water Development % of stage of development (extraction) of ground water More than 100% 90% to 100% 70% to 90% Less than 70%

groundwater resources for the base year 2010-11 have been re-estimated, submitted and awaiting approval from Government of India.
Groundwater Development
A study of the composite hydrographs of the past and present indicates that groundwater development is taking place in the state. It is generally observed that more the recharge more will be the utilization. A break point will be reached where the number of wells will increase and the power consumed will also increase considerably even as groundwater exploitation and total area irrigated through groundwater remain constant. At present, on an average, about 1.2 hectares is irrigated per well and on an average a total of 50,000 wells are commissioned per year due to which the average unit area irrigated per well may decrease. The irrigation potential created under groundwater during 2010-11, is 22.84 lakh hectares. At present, the well population is more than 25 Lakh (mostly bore wells) with the area irrigated under groundwater for the year 2009-10 being 33.43 lakh hectares and 36.72 lakh hectares in 2010-11. If micro irrigation practices are adopted, irrigation potential through groundwater can reach to a level of 46 lakh hectares.

Monitoring of Ground Water Levels

A net rise in the groundwater level to an extent of 3.99 m. was recorded in the State over the pre-monsoon (May, 2012) ground water level in 2012-13(up to November, 2012). Coastal Andhra region recorded a net rise of 4.35 m, Rayalaseema region recorded a net rise of 1.70 m. and the Telangana region recorded a net rise of 4.65 m. over May, 2012 ground water level. There was a net rise in the level of ground water to an extent of 0.29 m. in the State against the same period in the previous year (November, 2011) groundwater level in November, 2012. Coastal Andhra region recorded a net rise of 1.50m. Rayalaseema region recorded a net fall of 2.42m and Telangana region recorded a net rise of 0.29m.
Dissemination of Data
Data is being disseminated to various Government organizations, Research institutes, Universities NGOs and above all to each and every village as per their need. The status on Groundwater level is being disseminated to District administration, as well as all water related departments for planning purpose.
Rain Water Harvesting for Artificial Recharge

Simple low cost methods are suggested to collect and store runoff water from roof tops of buildings, road surfaces, municipal parks, school play grounds, stadiums, air ports etc, in recharge pits for artificial recharge. Such measures help in reducing urban runoff, decrease pollution of groundwater and increase groundwater recharge augmenting yields of wells. Water spreading, recharge through pits, trenches, wells, shafts and directly diverting runoff water into the existing wells are few suggested methods for recharging.
Monitoring of Water Quality

The department collects water samples during premonsoon [May] and post-monsoon [November] from all monitoring network wells and also wherever necessary during investigations. These water samples were analyzed in the 6 Chemical Laboratories of the department. The department analysed 10,525 water samples against the target of 8,106 during 2011-12. 9,124 water samples were analyzed against the target of 8,539 during 2012-13 (up to November, 2012).

SOCIAL INFRASTRUCTURE
Investment in Physical and Social infrastructure is important for achieving higher growth of the poor and to improve employment and social development of the marginalised. In fact the accepted notion of economic development itself has undergone a paradigm shift in recent imes. The prime objective of any Welfare State is to improve social infrastructure for sustainable and improved standard living of the people. While good economic infrastructure lays foundation for development resulting in improvement in living conditions of the people, it is the push necessitated on social sector parameters like education, healthcare, nutrition, water supply, housing, social security etc that eventally bestows a healthy ambience. The Government continues its focus on social infrastructure towards meeting basic minimum requirements of the people especially for ensuring higher levels of social justice in society in accordance with the goals of the Eleventh Five Year Plan. Once the process of social development is institutionalised, it provides sustenance for overall economic development.

94% of the infection is through sexual transmission, 4% parent to child, 0.6% through injecting Drug Use, and 0.4% through blood and blood products. The reasons for such high prevalence of HIV were high promiscuous behaviour and sexual encounters with nonregular partners, high prevalence of sexually transmitted illnesses among intercourse partners, low condoms usage with non-regular sexual partners, large migrant population, large network of national highways, human trafficking and most importantly awareness not resulting in behavioural change. A.P. State AIDS Control Society was registered in September, 1998. Andhra Pradesh is one of the states with the sixth highest prevelance of AIDS in the country. Among these six states, Andhra Pradesh tops the table in terms of the maximum PLHAs (People living with HIV/AIDS) in the country. However, through sustained efforts, during the last three years, the prevalence has come down, as per reports of the year 2010. The estimated adult population living with HIV/AIDS is 4.24 5.96 Lakh. The trend of HIV prevalence among various groups involved in the sentinel surveillance is shown in Table 8.19. Table 8.19 : HIV Prevalence

AIDS CONTROL SOCIETY

The HIV epidemic has been one of the most challenging modern public health problems for India. Provisional estimates put the number of people living with HIV in India in 2008 at 22.7 Lakh. The third phase of National AIDS Control Programme (NACP) is being implemented across the country by the National AIDS Control Organization (NACO) in a response to the epidemic. HIV still remains a matter of concern among people having high-risk behaviour. In order to augment the effort to prevent further spread of HIV/AIDS, Government has initiated several measures, focusing not only on prevention, but also on providing services for testing, treatment, care and support to people infected with HIV/AIDS. 164

Policy Initiatives
The Nations AIDS Control ProgrammePhase III (2007-12) commenced on 6th July 2007, to take forward the initiatives on HIV/AIDS control programme in the country. In accordance with the goal of NACP-III, the State of Andhra Pradesh aims to reverse the epidemic by reducing new infections as estimated in the first year of the program, by 60% in the State by 2012. This to be achieved by introducing focused prevention interventions by implementing community-led structural
interventions for key population groups, motivating and enabling community ownership of the HIV/AIDS Programme and translating awareness and knowledge into behaviour change leading to adoption of safe practices at individual and community levels.
Strategy for High-Risk Population

The primary focus of prevention activities is to prevent transmission of HIV virus among High Risk groups like female sex workers (FSW), male sex with male (MSM) Intravenous drug users (IDUs), Truckers and Migrants. For this 169 targeted interventions are in operation in the state covering about 3 lakh HRGs and bridge populations. The coverage for the targeted population has been streamlined through upscaling and realignment of interventions based on revised mapping of HRG in the state. The HRGs are covered by NGOs supported by APSACS. The package of services provided to the targeted population for prevention of HIV are correct and consistent use of condom, STI management through NGO run, private practitioners and Government run STI clinics, enabling environment through advocacy, extension of HIV testing services at ICTC. Other need based support for social entitlements, community organizations and capacity building support have also extended to strengthen the program. Link workers scheme focused on covering scattered HRGs in rural areas is being implemented in all 22 districts of the state through two funders, viz., NACO and UNICEF.
epidemic. 379 Stand-alone ICTCs, 26 mobile ICTCs, 1105 Facility Integrated ICTC in 24 hour PHCs, 222 private sector health facilities under PPP which offer ICTC and PPTCT services have been established. Mobile ICTCs are supported with counsellors, lab technicians, test kits and consumables etc., Facility Integrated ICTC located in PHCs and CHC level are managed by Nurse Practitioners who provide counselling, and testing. Other types of ICTCs are manned by counsellors and LTs. Nearly 14.2 lakh general clients and 11.5 lakh pregnant women were tested in 2011-12 and 65 thousand positives (61,663 general and 3643 ANC) identified. Mother baby pair coverage with Nevirapine prophylaxis has been as high as 91% in 2011-12 and in the financial year 201213 (up to Sept.12). Nearly 5.5 lakh general clients and 4.3 lakh pregnant women were tested and a total of 39 thousand positives (28,776 general clients and 1456) were identified.
Blood Safety
To prevent HIV infection through infected blood and blood products, blood safety programme have been taken up. There are presently 232 licensed and active Blood banks of which 111 are NACO supported. 19 Blood Component separation units, 2 Model Blood banks (IPM and SVRR) have also been started. About 7.4 lakh units of blood was collected with 0.3% positivity in 2011-12 and in 2012-13, 4 lakh units were collected upto Sept.12.
SHUBHAM Campaign
Referral to ICTCs and testing of HRGs for HIV is a key component under targeted interventions to prevent spread of infection. SHUBHAM was a unique and pioneering initiative of APSACSs and aims to improve HIV testing and hence converting them from unknown to known HIV status. It was carried out in two rounds across all TIs but the impact was beyond active rounds. It not only tested a substantial number of HRGs but also probably developed an inclination towards regular testing at some of the TI sites as data suggested HRGs with negative result in Round I came for testing in Round II.
Early Sexually Transmitted Infection Detection and Treatment

Strong STI/RTI prevention, testing, and treatment component is vital for a comprehensive program to prevent sexual transmission of HIV. About 105 Designate STI/RTI Clinics (DSRCs) were operational in the state to provide these services. As evident from data, there has been a tremendous uptake in utilization of DSRCs in state. Almost 3.5 Lakh visits were made to DSRCs during the fiscal year 2011-12 which is almost ten times higher than the visits made in 2008-09. Almost 2.5 Lakh episodes of STI/RTI syndromes were treated at DSRCs during 2011-12 (75% of the annual target). Infrastructure strengthening, appointment of counsellors at DSRCs followed by quality training and extensive supportive supervision has been the focus for improvement in service uptake from DSRCs. Branding of DSRCs, specific communication strategy for demand generation as well as NRHM collaboration has also played its role in improving uptake of services from DSRCs. 165
Integrated Counselling and Testing Centres

ICTCs are established to encourage voluntary counselling and testing to know HIV status and accordingly step up preventive services to cut down the spread of the
Care, Support and Treatment ART Centres

With the introduction of Anti-Retroviral Therapy treatment, life span of PLHAs has been increased. As per NACO Guidelines, all HIV positive people are registered for Pre-ART and their Blood samples tested for CD4 cell count. Depending on clinical conditions and CD4 cell count, PLHAs are provided with ART medicines. At present there are 45 ART centres (including 2 in Private sector) with more than 4 lakh people on pre-ART and about 1.2 lakh on ART treatment during the year 201213 up to September12. In addition 84 link ART centres were started to dispense drugs.
the key issues related to HIV/AIDS is being done in collaboration with NRHM. A special programme called CABA for Children Affected By AIDS is implemented in 2 districts to address the care, support and treatment aspects and hundreds of CABA are linked to services like Education, Health and Nutrition provided by concerned departments. Measures were also taken to address HIV issues in the work places of some of the major industries in the state.
District Project Management

District AIDS prevention Control Units (DAPCUS) were established in all districts for convergence with NRHM under a new initiative. The decentralizing and programme implementation and all posts in DAPCUs were filled as sanctioned by the Government.
Community Care Centres

PLHAs require a care continuum and support for treatment for opportunistic infections and short stay. There are 36 Community Care Centres supported by NACO (Including 2 CCC for Children), 34 centres supported by State Government, including 6 Temporary hospitalization wards to provide these services. More than 1.58 lakh PLHAs utilized CCCs services during 2011-12
Identity Cards and Pensions to People Living with HIV/AIDS

SAHARA identity cards for patients receiving the Anti Retroviral Therapy (ART) medicines are provided, which help them to access benefits provided by the Government like concessions for travel, priority in housing schemes and pensions etc., without any stigma of discrimination. More than 38,000 persons receiving the ART medicines were issued with SAHARA identity cards so far. About 25841 PLHAs from BPL and who were on ART continuously with 6 months are getting pensions from State Government. 50,000 PLHIVS on ART treatment are utilizing 50% concessional on bus pass to access ART services. It is envisioned that by the end of 2010, there will be increased access to voluntary HIV testing, STD treatment condom usage treatment for opportunistic infections and availability of ART medicines besides reduction of stigma and discrimination.
District Level Networks

Under GIPA (Greater involvement of People Living with HIV /AIDS) a new wave has been created in the state to involve more PLHAs to participate in all HIV/ AIDS initiatives to promote positive prevention. So far more than 1 lakh PLHAs have been motivated to become members of these networks across the state and measures are taken to build capacities of these networks for accessing and availing various Government schemes. Women Support Groups with positive women have also been formed and are marching towards empowerment and self-sustainability. One of the major objectives of these networks is to reduce the stigma & discrimination at community level.
Mainstreaming
Mainstreaming HIV has become a prime focus in the Primary Prevention interventions in current year. Partnerships with different departments like Youth, Tribal Welfare, School and Collegiate Education continue to address HIV related issues in the target population. As a part of mainstreaming, and sensitization newly recruited Police Trainees were also taken up in partnership with the State Police Department. Capacity building of ANMs and ASHA workers on some of 166
WOMEN DEVELOPMENT AND CHILD WELFARE

The principle of gender equality is enshrined in the Indian Constitution. The Constitution of India guarantees equality of opportunity, equal pay for equal work, no discrimination to all women. It also allows special provisions to be made by the State in favour of women and children to be made by the State for securing
just and humane conditions of work that renounce practices derogatory to the dignity of women. Most of the previous Five Year Plans and programmes aimed at womens advancement in different spheres. From the Fifth Five Year Plan (1974-78) onwards there is a shift in the approach to womens issues from welfare to development. Access of women particularly those belonging to weaker sections, in rural areas and in the informal, unorganized sector to education, health and productive resources is being taken care of. All these efforts have resulted in increased participation by women in various social and cultural activities, and science and technology fields etc. Women now participate in all activities such as education, politics, media, art and culture, service sectors, science and technology, etc All out efforts are being made for development and welfare of children whose overall development is recognized as the ideal way for fostering national human resources. The National Charter for Children notified in the year 2004 underlines the commitment to childrens rights to survival, health and nutrition, standard of living, play and leisure, early childhood care, education, protection of the girl child, empowering adolescents etc. The Government is running the following institutions for Women and Children to cater to their needs in difficult circumstances.

Hyderabad Metro Rail Project

Government of Andhra Pradesh (GoAP) with the approval of the Government of India has undertaken development of the Hyderabad Metro Rail project to address the increasing traffic congestion and pollution levels in Hyderabad city. With a population of about 8 million, this historic city is a major hub of pharma industry and IT/ITES sectors. Phase-I of the project covers 3 traffic corridors in the city spanning over 72 km with 66 stations. It is the worlds largest Metro Rail project being executed in public private partnership (PPP) mode. Out of the total cost of Rs 14,132 crore for this elevated Metro Rail system, Rs 1,458 crore is being given as central assistance by GoI under the VGF scheme. The remaining Rs 12,674 crore is being raised by the Concessionaire M/s. L&T Metro Rail Hyderabad Ltd. (L&TMRHL). Financial closure for the project was achieved within a record period of six months. Additional Rs 1,980 crore is being spent by GoAP for acquisition of 204 acres of private land, shifting of utilities, creation of Right of Way (RoW) through road widening, R&R, pedestrian facilities. The 72 km Hyderabad Metro Rail project is the worlds largest mass transit project being built in Public Private Partnership (PPP) mode. The Hyderabad Metro Rail project has been designed in an innovative way to make it financially viable as very few urban transit projects are financially successful. Property development and commercial exploitation of air space over parking & circulation areas at Metro stations and in the Metro depots will enable the system earn substantial revenues. The financial model envisages generation of about 50% of the revenue from passenger fares, 45% from property development and 5% from advertisements and other miscellaneous sources. The Concession period of 201
Radial Roads
The Government of A.P. took up construction of 158 Km long Outer Ring Road to Hyderabad City through HMDA / HGCL. 390 Kms kms of 33 Radial have been identified for improvement to provide improved connectivity between Inner Ring Road and Outer Ring Road. Out of the 33 Radial roads, 7 Radial Roads viz; RR No. 2,3,4,25,28,29 & 33 of a total length of 53.72 Km at a cost of about Rs 341.17 Crore was completed to connect western and southern sectors of the ORR with IRR by widening to 4/6 lanes. It is now proposed to take up improvement of 5. Radial roads viz; RR-5, 11, 16, 22 & 15 of a total length of 54.45 Km at an estimated cost of Rs 287.51 Crore connecting Northern and Western sectors of ORR, with loan assistance from Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA). The Government accorded administrative sanction for the Radial Road No. 5 with an outlay of Rs 31.50
the project is 35 years (including a 5 year construction period) which can be extended by another 25 years. The project is designed as a totally elevated transit system to be financially viable to reduce carbon foot print in the city. Inter-modal integration with main rail, bus depots, feeder buses in traffic catchment areas, sky-walks below elevated viaduct with landings into nearby residential/ commercial complexes, bicycle tracks and other modes of Non-Motorised Transport (NMT), pedestrian facilities, street furniture etc. are part of the project. The project is thus not just a simple mass transit system, but is being used as an opportunity to redesign Hyderabad as a people friendly green city. The elevated stations are being designed as green building stations with emphasis on aesthetics.
Project Status
The Concessionaire L&TMRHL and GoAP have completed the preparatory works by undertaking several parallel activities. GoAP has set up Special Tax Force (STF) headed by the Chief Secretary for regular monitoring of the progress of the project. Depot works at Uppal & Miyapur depots; and pillar construction works between Nagole & Mettuguda (8 km; stage 1 of the project) and between Miyapur & SR Nagar (11km; stage 2) are in full swing. So far 276 pillars, 422 foundations and 1105 viaduct segments have been completed and the construction works are progressing at a fast pace. The project is scheduled to be completed in 5 years from the appointed date (05-07-2012). The first section (Stage-1 & Stage-2) is expected to be opened by the end of 2014 and the entire project will be completed by mid 2017.

RURAL DEVELOPMENT
The Commissionerate of Rural Development implements Rural Development programmes like Watershed Development programme, Self Help Groups and related programmes and Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme. As per the 2011(P) census Rural population of Andhra Pradesh is 563.12 Lakh representing 66.51% of the total population. It is possible to increase productivity of degraded lands with proper planning, scientific approach and efficient management and create huge employment opportunities for the poor. It is firmly believed that development of degraded lands is an important input required for eradication of poverty. Towards this direction, Watersheds development programmes (DPAP, DDP, IWDP, IWMP), Comprehensive Land Development Programmes (Indira prabha under RIDF IX, X, XIII, XV) and Wage Employment Programmes (MGNREGS-AP) are being implemented in the state. All the 3 programmes are being implemented and monitored through software solution RAGAS (Rashtra Grameena Abhivridhi Samacharam). The entire data is uploaded every day into central server and reports displayed on respective websites, thereby bringing in transparency and accountability in these programmes.

Watershed Development Programmes

Watershed programmes are concentrated only in rainfed areas which have undulating terrain and are prone for degradation of soil (soil erosion). These areas are generally characterized by very poor groundwater. The programme envisages demarking 500 hectare area as a micro watershed. The watershed so delineated is treated for conservation of soil and moisture by following the ridge to valley approach. A series of structures like sunken pits, rockfill dams, percolation tanks, check dams, farm ponds, earthen bunding, vegetative barriers, plantations etc., are constructed to reduce velocity of water and allow percolation. They also control soil erosion and improve vegetative cover on the land so as to augment productivity. Details about the progress of watersheds is shown in Table 8.31.

Apart from addressing the traffic problems, the project aims at rejuvenating older parts of the city and redesigning Hyderabad city as a people friendly green city and to make it a major destination for global business and investment. On the whole, the project envisages direct investment to a tune of about Rs. 20,000 crore (project cost; property development component; and expenditure being incurred by GoAP) and substantial spin off of investments, which will be triggered by the project. It is one of the largest investments in the State with a potential to create about 50,000 jobs and many ancillary industries in Hyderabad and its surrounding districts.

Watershed development Programmes are being implemented under centrally sponsored schemes of DPAP, DDP and IWDP to combat recurring drought conditions in the state. The main objective of the Watershed Development Programme is encouraging of Integrated Natural Resources Management, following the ridge to valley approach, in select micro watersheds of approximately 500 ha area, with participation of local community. Soil and Moisture Conservation, Water Harvesting, Ground Water Recharge, Improvement of vegetation and Bio-mass, Wasteland Development etc., are the main components of Watershed Development programmes. After Andhra Pradesh Rural livelihoods Project supported by DFID provided necessary learnings on providing sustainable livelihoods to rural poor, promotion of watershed based livelihoods for resource poor was included as another important component of the programme since 2004. In 2008, GOI issued new common guidelines for Watershed Development Projects bringing all schemes under one umbrella and provided for cluster approach wherein, contiguous areas upto 5,000 ha. are to be taken up for treatment. 9,301 watersheds covering an area of 46.50 lakh ha has been taken up for watershed development so far. 4,741 watersheds with an area of 23.70 lakh ha are completed. Presently the following schemes are under implementation.
B. Integrated Wasteland Development Programme

Rapid depletion of green cover and vast stretches of marginal lands lying fallow, are causing enormous ecological imbalance and decreasing productivity because of soil erosion and marginalization of lands. Massive integrated wasteland development project was under taken during 1992 with 100% central assistance to arrest this. The state dry land development programme underwent a major change from 1995-96 with the introduction of new watershed guidelines. IWDP is implemented in non-DPAP blocks of DPAP districts and in all non-DPAP Districts. New guidelines called Hariyali are being implemented in watersheds since 2003-04. The area is treated with soil and moisture conservation works, water harvesting structures, afforestation from ridge to valley concept. The achievements details of these watershed s are shown in Table 8.33. Table 8.33 : Water sheds under IWDP

It is aimed at developing drought prone areas for drought proofing by taking up soil and moisture conservation, water harvesting structures, afforestation and horticulture programmes on a comprehensive micro watershed basis. DPAP scheme is being implemented in 94 DPAP Blocks of the 11 districts and Desert 204
C. Integrated Watershed Management Programme

This is a centrally sponsored scheme funded by the Central and State Government on 90:10 funding basis. The main aim of IWMP is to restore ecological balance
by harnessing, conserving and developing degraded natural resource such as soil, vegetative cover and water. Prevention of soil run-off, regeneration of natural vegetation, rain water harvesting and recharging of ground water table are few outcomes of these programs. This enables multi-cropping, introduction of diverse agro-based activities, and help provide sustainable livelihoods to people in watershed areas. IWMP programme has defined appropriate institutional arrangements, budget allocations, capacity building strategies and project management cycle. The proposed processes integrate gender, equity and livelihood concerns in the framework of Watershed Development programme. Details about the achievements under this programme are shown in Table 8.34.

Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act gives legal guarantee of providing at least 100 days of wage employment to rural households whose adult members are willing to do unskilled manual labour. The
objective of the Act is to supplement wage employment opportunities in rural areas and build up durable assets in the process. This programme is implemented in 22 districts of the state except Hyderabad. Government of Andhra Pradesh launched MGNREGS on February 2, 2006 in 13 districts of the state. The scheme was subsequently expanded to all the districts by April 2008. The innovations like payment of wages through offices, Rural SSR, IT driven implementation and social audit system for public vigilance has kept the State in forefront in implementation of the programme at the national level. Continuing the efforts to enhance efficiency and transparency and technology integration and processes streamlining have been introduced that have improved AP model of MGNREGS implementation. The state has also taken up necessary steps to convey to wage seekers that MGNREGS is a scheme aimed not only at providing wage employment to the unskilled labour, but also for creating durable assets and thereby enhancing livelihoods of the poorest of the poor in rural areas. Development of fallow lands belonging to SC/ST/Small and marginal farmers, restoration of water bodies, horticulture, bund plantations, roads, GP buildings and Mandal level buildings are few of the durable assets created under the scheme.

Best Practices End to End IT Utilization Rashtriya Grameenabhivruddhi Samacharam

The use of ICT becomes necessary especially in registration of wage seekers, estimation of works, disbursement of wages and effective monitoring for ensuring transparency in the execution of MGNREGS in Andhra Pradesh. The transaction based software issues job cards, maintains shelf of projects, generates estimates, issues work commencement letters, updates muster rolls and generates pay orders. The RAGAS software has now been converted from Offline mode to Online mode.
Shrama Shakti Sanghas (Labour Groups)

10-30 labourers are formed into labour groups in this group system. Providing continuous assured employment for poor rural Households for 100 days is the key objective for the formation of SSS groups. These groups were created for better cohesiveness, coordination and better worksite management. Fudging of muster rolls and fake entries can be easily identified and avoided through this.
Quality Control Wing

Government of Andhra Pradesh constituted a separate Quality Control Cell with a retired Engineer-in-chief as Chief Quality Control Officer for ensuring quality of created durable assets. Three Q.C engineering divisions in three regions were created to check quality of the works taken up. 62 teams were formed with Senior Quality Control Officers and Junior. Quality Control Officers to conduct inspections and submit reports on execution.These not only check the quality but also build the capacity of Technical assistants and engineering consultants.
Web Reports
Web reports provide detailed information under various sections and subsections covering all aspects of MGNREGS activities. The user can access all reports in the website www.nrega.ap.gov.in which offers information related to employment generation, physical and financial performance. Pay slips are generated by the computer and distributed to the labour at their door steps. Pay slips carry information about the amount of wages deposited in the accounts of the labourer.
Vigilance Teams
A strong vigilance wing was established to ensure transparency and accountability. Special Vigilance wing was formed at the State and district level for taking up follow-up on Social Audit findings. Chief Vigilance Officer who is a senior officer is the head of the wing and is responsible for the functioning of the vigilance teams. District vigilance teams are positioned to strengthen vigilance and social audit follow up.
Electronic Fund management System

E-FMS was established to put in place an efficient mechanism for online money transfers. E-FMS was introduced to address the difficulty in handling various accounts at various levels (state level, district level and mandal level) and to address accountability issues. This system helps in avoiding parking of funds in some places and empowers all blocks and Panchayats uninterrupt access to funds a through central server.
Grievance Redressal
A grievance redressal call center with toll free numbers (040155321&1800-200-4455) have been established for registering grievance of wage seekers to be redressed. 26,709 complaints were redressed upto October12 out of the total 26,963 grievances registered.
Electronic Muster and Measurement System

e- MMS is designed to ensure complete transparency in implementation of MGNREGS programme by obtaining electronic data directly from worksite to the website on day to day basis from all villages. The musters and measurements information is sent electronically through mobile technology. eMMS is being implemented in all districts except Nizamabad. In Nizamabad, biometric eMMs is in implementation. Live musters are uploaded to the server directly from the field and can be viewed on the web on day to day basis. 207
Social Audit
A full-fledged Social Audit Unit system was established at the State level with exclusive staff. So far Social Audit was conducted in 1,095 mandals in 22 Districts in the 1st round; 1075 mandals in 2nd round, 1079 mandals in 3rd round, 921 mandals in 4th round and 276 mandals in 5th round. This is an effective tool to check corruption and to enhance accountability to people.
Social Audit Follow-up Action (up to Sept 2012)

Total Amount objected in Social Audit was Rs 133.8 Cr out of which Rs 60.17 Cr was confirmed as misappropriated. The amounts dropped after verification was Rs. 13.7 Cr. Amount recovered was Rs. 20.2 Cr. & amount to be recovered is Rs. 39.95 Cr. A total of 892 Fixed Tenure Employees (FTEs) were suspended and 3,929 FTEs were removed from service which includes 3374 Field Assistants. The total number of FIRs booked was 162. 14,538 (includes Mates, CSPs etc.) are the other removals.
at Achampet (Mahabubnagar), Atmakur (Kurnool), Yerragondapalem (Prakasam) and Macherla (Guntur). Rs. 36 Crore expenditure was incurred in the Chenchu areas since implementation of MGNREGS.
Special Strategy ITDAs (Tribal Region)

Apart from implementation through Programme Officer/MPDO, certain works are also taken up through Project Officer ITDAs. Works like check dams, roads, GP buildings & mandal buildings in ITDA areas are taken up through ITDAs. Horticulture is given importance and plantations like Coffee, Mango, Rubber and Cashew were predominantly taken up in ITDA areas.
Mobile Courts
The A.P. Promotion of Social Audit and Prevention of Corrupt Practices, Act 3 of 2012, was promulgated for speedy trial of offences committed by personnel indulging in corrupt practices in the implementation of the programme including those identified by Social Audit. Efforts are being made to launch criminal prosecution against persons involved in mis-appropriation in the implementation of the scheme through Special Mobile Courts.
Expenditure on Assets under MGNREGS

1. Land Development: Land Development is taken up to develop fallow lands of SC/STs, to enhance and diversify livelihood options of the poor by bringing these lands under diversified farming systems. 34 lakh acres of fallow land and degraded cultivable land was taken up with an expenditure of Rs. 5925 Cr. benefitting 26.5 lakh SC/ST/Small & Marginal farmers.

POVERTY, EMPLOYMENT AND UNEMPLOYMENT

Poverty
Poverty is a state where a person is unable to maintain a minimum socially accepted level of standard of living. It is regarded as the root cause for low levels of health and educational outcomes, poor access to clean water and sanitation, inadequate physical security, lack of voice, and insufficient capacity and opportunity for mobility. Poverty alleviation has remained the central objective of all state and central government initiatives. Five Year Plans have also directly or indirectly focused on reducing poverty levels throughout the country. Planning Commission in the country is in charge of deciding the methodology and making estimates about the number and percentage of poor at national and state levels. These estimates are the official estimates of poverty in the country. On a comparable basis, these official estimates are available for the years 1973-74, 1977-78, 1983, 1987-88, 1993-94, 2004-05 and 2009-10. As per the latest estimates of the Planning Commission released in March 2012, for the year 2009-10, the poverty ratios for rural and urban areas of Andhra Pradesh was 22.8% and 17.7% respectively and combined was 21.1%. The corresponding figures for All India during the same period were 33.8%, 20.9% for rural and urban areas and combined was 29.8%. Annexure 9.1 depicts the percentage of people below the poverty line in Andhra Pradesh and at All India level for different time periods. As the economy grows and per capita incomes rises the poverty threshold indicating the minimum acceptable level of living needs to be revised to reflect the changing consumption patterns in society. In 2005, the Planning Commission appointed an Expert Group to review alternate concepts of poverty and recommend necessary changes in the existing procedures of official estimation of poverty. The expert group under the Chairmanship of Prof. Suresh D. Tendulkar submitted its report in November, 2009. The Expert group recommended using poverty lines which are substantially higher than earlier ones. 221
Chapter
The Official Estimates of poverty show that the performance of Andhra Pradesh in reducing income poverty has been impressive, particularly in rural areas. The Planning Commission estimates as well as the Expert Group estimates show that poverty levels in AP have been lower than the national average and also that its pace of reduction is faster than what was observed at all India level. This can be attributed to the innovative poverty alleviation programs implemented in the state. Andhra Pradesh is known for introducing innovative poverty alleviation programmes, like subsidization of Rice especially during more then the last two decades. Apart from general economic policies and bold policy initiatives, targeted poverty alleviation programmes like Indira Kranthi Patham (IKP) for womens empowerment, INDIRAMMA programme for providing housing and other infrastructure like pensions, land distribution and health insurance (Arogyasri) are the other important programmes helping poor in various dimensions. Increasing budgetary allocations, improving delivery systems in poverty alleviation programmes and effective monitoring can help reduce severity of poverty.
Employment & Unemployment

The Quinquennial Survey on Employment and Unemployment is one of the most important surveys conducted by National Sample Survey Office (NSSO), the latest being the one held in 2009-10 (NSS 66th Round). These surveys collected information on several variables to capture the multidimensional aspects of employment and unemployment in the country. Persons engaged in any economic activity are termed as workers. Unpaid helpers who assist in the operation of economic activity are also considered as workers.
Labour Force
Persons categorized as working (employed) and also those who are seeking or available for work (unemployed) together constitute the labour force. The Labour Force Participation Rate (LFPR) is defined as the number
of persons in the labour force per 1000 persons. The estimates of Labour Force Participation Rate based on current daily status are presented in Annexure 9.2. Labour Force Participation rates for both rural and urban areas in Andhra Pradesh were higher compared with all India levels.
slipped from 2.50% to 2.10% during the same period. Similarly, the employment elasticity which represents the responsiveness of employment generation to change in gross domestic product stands at 0.19% for Andhra Pradesh as against the all India employment elasticity of 0.28%.
Work Force (Employed)

Persons engaged in any economic activity constitute the work force. The number of persons employed per 1000 persons is known as Work Force Participation rate (WFPR). The work force participation rate per 1000 persons is based on current daily status. As per the current daily status, a person is considered working (employed) for the entire day if he/she had worked for 4 hours or more during a day. Work force participation rates in Andhra Pradesh in males in rural areas increased, whereas that of females decreased in 2009-10 compared with the rates in 200405, while in urban areas it decreased for both males and females. Work force participation rates are high in Andhra Pradesh in general compared to all India figures. Details are given in Annexure.9.3. Apart from the quantum of employment, the quality of employment also remains a concern in the state. Problems such as wage rate, seasonality, job insecurity, illiteracy, occupational hazards etc., continue in the state. Around 94% of the workers in A.P. are in the unorganized sector and in fact, the state reports the highest incidence of employment in the unorganized/informal economy. Further, demographic dividend, which is one of the indicators of future economic growth, is expected to increase the working age group in the state and reduce dependency ratio. Reduction in dependency ratio is likely to increase savings and investments. Shifting workforce from Agriculture to non-farm sector is the best way of enhancing income levels of the poor by creating quality non-agriculture work opportunities through skill development in rural areas. The growth of employment has picked up significantly in Andhra Pradesh compared to the decline in its growth at the National level in the recent past as compared to the previous period. Further, the pace of growth of employment is also quite impressive in Andhra Pradesh. While Andhra Pradesh has registered an annual compound growth of 1.70% in employment between 2004-05 and 2009-10 - up from 0.70% between 19992000 and 2004-05, All Indias employment growth 222
Unemployment
The National Sample Survey Office (NSSO) provides the Unemployment estimates on the basis of the Quinquennial surveys. Persons are considered unemployed, if he/she was not working, but was either seeking or was available for work for a relatively long time during the reference period. Unemployment rate is defined as the number of persons unemployed per 1000 persons in the labour force. This in effect gives the unutilized portion of labour force. It is a more refined indicator of unemployment in population than the proportion of unemployed, which is nearly the number of unemployed per 1000 persons in the population as a whole. Unemployment rates are based on the usual principal and subsidiary status and have shown an oscillatory trend during the period 1993-94 to 2009-10 in Andhra Pradesh and at All India level. Details about the unemployment rates on usual (principal and subsidiary) status of various rounds for Andhra Pradesh and All India are presented in Annexure-9.4. The rural and urban unemployment rates in Andhra Pradesh as well as at All India levels increased from 1993-94 to 1999-2000. However, from 1999-2000 to 2004-05, the rural and urban unemployment rates in Andhra Pradesh decreased. The rural unemployment rate has however increased (5 points) from 7 in 200405 to 12 in 2009-10 where as the urban unemployment rate has decreased by 5 points from 36 to 31. Similarly, at All India level, the urban unemployment rate has fallen sharply 11 points from 45 to 34 where as the rural unemployment rate has marginally declined (only 1 point) from 17 to 16.

ELEVENTH FIVE YEAR PLAN - A REVIEW

Review of the Eleventh Five Year Plan (2007-2012)
The socio-economic developments in Andhra Pradesh have in tune with the national trends delineated a distinct dynamic and expansionist phase since 2004-05 in all sectors of the State economy. The Eleventh Five Year Plan commenced on a very optimistic note with the 1st year (2007-08) of the plan period recording a phenomenal economic growth in excess of 12%. It was also encouraged by the strong economic resurrection evident from a remarkable transition to a high growth path during the 10th Five Year Plan. However, the sailing was not entirely comfortable thereafter as the state witnessed a relative slowdown for two years continuously during 2008-09 and 2009-10 due to adverse seasonal conditions, unprecedented floods and other natural calamities coupled with volatile global conditions. After the recovery in the penultimate year (2010-11) of the 11th Plan, Andhra Pradesh much like the All-India trends, managed to maintain the growth momentum ensuring that the overall growth rate for the 11th Plan remain above the coveted 8% mark coinciding with the 10th Plan growth performance. Inclusiveness, which has eluded the masses for decades, however remained as a core agenda for the upcoming five year plan. A comprehensive picture of the economic growth and plan performance during the 11th Five Year Plan along with the performance of various Flagship programmes are presented below.
10
Chapter
during the 11th Plan period, compared to the growth target, none the less the growth achievement can be considered noteworthy. The growth pattern reveals that the achievement during the 11th Plan can essentially be attributed to a significant contribution in the first year (12.02% in 2007-08) and the penultimate year (9.96% in 2010-11) of the Plan period. The year 2009-10 was disappointing as the growth rate slipped down to 4.53%, the lowest in recent past. The low growth was essentially due to a rather dismal performance of the agriculture sector, whose growth rate was just 0.2%. The growth rate of 7.82% in the terminal year (2011-12) of the 11th Plan, however shows some promise for sustained growth. The agriculture sector, for the third time in the 11th Plan period, put up a poor show during the terminal year by registering a growth rate less than 1%. The Services sector with a fabulous growth rate of 10.53% supported by the Industry sector with a modest growth rate of 7.71% however gave some solace.
Agriculture Sector
Analysis of broad sectoral growth rates for the 11th Plan period reveal mixed trends. As outlined above, the Agriculture sector, which on the average accounts for about 12% of the overall GSDP, managed a relatively better performance during the 11th Plan period (average growth of 5.28%) as compared to the 10th Plan (3.98%). Interestingly, agriculture sector, which continues to provide employment and livelihood to a large population despite its shrinking share in the economy, remained a growth pointer. This is evident from the fact that during the 11th Plan period, whenever the agriculture sector fared well, the economy as a whole put up an encouraging performance. The foodgrain production which accounts for nearly 35% of the agricultural GSDP, continues to remain vulnerable to the vagaries of monsoon. The foodgrain production in the State during the 11th Plan period has mostly been progressive. After touching a record level 226
Overall Growth Performance

Amidst wide expectations, the state economy, as measured by growth in the real Gross State Domestic Product (GSDP), grew at 8.18% during the 11th Five Year Plan period (2007-12) which is marginally higher than the All Indias GDP growth of 8.03% for the same period. The performance of the state economy during the last three Five year plan periods has been better than the national average, albeit marginally. In spite of the fact that there is some shortfall in the overall achievement
of 204 lakh tonnes in 2008-09, the foodgrain production slipped to 156 lakh tonnes during 2009-10 due to adverse seasonal conditions and bounced back thereafter to 203 lakh tonnes in 2010-11. However, the foodgrains production has come down to 184 lakh tonnes during 2011-12 due to deficient rainfall and consequent drought conditions that prevailed across the state. The impact of slowdown coupled with adverse seasonal conditions in the State is evident in almost all sub-sectors within Agriculture sector. The Livestock sub-sector of late has emerged as an important alternate source of income to a large number of small and marginal farmers, particularly in drought prone areas. The State accounts for more than 10% of the countrys livestock and ranks 1st in Egg and Meat production and 2nd in milk production. The Government has formulated a State Milk Mission envisaging a huge outlay benefiting 25 lakh persons spreading over a period of next five years to enhance production in the State. The Livestock sub-sector which on average contributes more than 26% of the Agri-GSDP and 5.4% of the overall GSDP grew at 7.1% during the 11th Plan period. Fisheries is yet another promising sub sector in the State. The State ranks second in the country in fish production. The Fisheries sub-sector which on average contributes 12.1% of the Agri-GSDP and 2.6% of the overall GSDP grew at over 10% during the 11th Plan period. Forestry in the State has been consistently growing around 2% during the 11th Plan period. Several Forestry programmes to protect and develop existing forest area and bring back tree cover to desired levels are being implemented. More than 5 lakh hectares of degraded forest is being protected, developed and managed by Vana Samrakshna Samithis in the State. The Forestry & Logging sub-sector which on average contributes 5.57% of the Agri-GSDP and 1.2% of the overall GSDP has grown at 1.9% during the 11th Plan period. Overall during the 11th Plan period, the Agriculture sector on average contributed 21.27% of the GSDP and grew at 5.28%.
physical infrastructure are required to grow faster to boost the industrial growth momentum. Within the Industry sector, Electricity, Gas and Water Supply sub sector grew with an impressive growth rate of 10.07% and Construction subsector with a growth rate of 8.24% maintained a steady and sustained growth. Mining & Quarrying subsector, showing a volatile trend, grew at 3.12%. However, after witnessing a slump during 2008-09, this subsector has recovered considerably in subsequent years of the 11th Plan period. The manufacturing sub-sector (registered& unregistered), which on average accounts for more than 48% of the Industrial GSDP and over 12% of the GSDP, grew at 7.63% during the 11th Plan period. The Registered and un-registered components of the manufacturing sector accounted for about 36% and 12% of the Industrial GSDP respectively. The manufacturing sector has to grow at a higher pace if the Industry sector is to propel overall growth momentum and employment.
Services Sector
Services sector continues to garner a lions share (over 53%) in the GSDP and the consistently high growth rates in this sector has resulted in a growth of 9.81% during the 11th Plan period. Sub-sectors of Communications, Banking & Insurance, Real estate & Business services and Transport (other than Railways) & Storage have shown encouraging trends under the Services sector.
Per Capita Income

Noteworthy increases in Per Capita Income in the recent past broadly indicate improvement in livelihoods of people. The Per Capita Income of the state at current prices has more than doubled in a span of five yearsfrom Rs. 33,135 during 2006-07 to Rs. 68,970 in 201112, the terminal year of the 11th Plan period. In fact, the growth in Per Capita Income of the State is more rapid compared to All-India figures and the state has maintained the dominance for the entire 11th Plan period. Effective implementation of several poverty-alleviating and employment generating programmes of the State and those sponsored by the Centre, aided by a better delivery mechanism and safety nets in place, have helped people maintain relatively better standards.
Industry Sector
During the 11th Plan period, the Industry sector on average contributed over 25% of the GSDP and grew at 7.26%, which however was lower than the 10th Plan achievement. Power shortage has led to much of the slowdown in the industry sector. Power and other 227
Annual Plans A Recap of Performance

Against the total outlay (the sum of the outlays
approved by the Planning Commission for the annual plans of the Eleventh Plan Period - 2007-08 to 2011-12) of Rs.1,87,796.75 crore, an amount of Rs.1,58,020.86 crore has been spent accounting for 84.14% of the total outlay. During the 11th Plan period (2007-08 to 2011-12), Economic Services accounted for larger part of the total outlay (about 64%), followed by Social Services (over 35%) and General Services less than 1%. Almost similar shares of expenditure have been recorded by each of these broad sectors (as a percentage to total expenditure). Irrigation sector with an outlay share of 39.8%, Housing with 8.9% share and Rural Development with 8.1% are the major stakeholders in the total outlay. Other prominent sectors include: Urban Development, Welfare and Transport sectors. A perusal of the broad sectoral classification reveals that, an outlay of Rs.120068.51 Crores (63.94% of the total outlay) was provided against which Rs.100029.56 Crores (83.31% to sectoral outlay) has been spent under Economic Services in the Eleventh Five Year Plan. The outlay for Social services was Rs.66659.13 Crores (35.50% of the total outlay) and expenditure Rs. 57229.93 crores (85.85% of sectoral outlay) and under General services an amount of Rs.1069.11 crores was provided as outlay, which is less than 1% of the total outlay, and an expenditure of Rs.761.37 crores was incurred. Sizable investments have been made under economic services, in the irrigation and flood control sector to achieve targeted agricultural growth by creating more irrigation potential. To this effect, the Government during the year 2004 has taken up plans for fully utilizing available yields of Godavari and other rivers and initiated the Jalayagnam with an aim to complete ongoing and other new projects to provide immediate irrigation to water-starving segments on top priority. In tune with this broad strategy, the State Government allocated an outlay of about 40% i.e. Rs.74732.52 crores during the Eleventh Five year plan and incurred an expenditure of Rs.54023.86 crores which works out to 72.29% of its total outlay. Ensuring food security and providing employment to the labour force has been the essential premise of the socioeconomic development policies of the government. Keeping this in view, due priority was accorded to Agriculture and Allied sectors in the Eleventh Five plan period wherein Rs.10401.86 crore expenditure was 228
incurred exceeding the outlay of Rs.7958.37 crore. Appropriate planning, scientific approach and efficient management systems have been put in place under Rural Development to increase productivity of degraded lands and create employment opportunities for the poor. Development of degraded lands was regarded as an important input required for eradication of poverty.. Watersheds Development Programme, Comprehensive Land Development Programme and Wage Employment Programmes (MGNREGS-AP) are being implemented in the State are some such intiatives. To this effect, greater emphasis was accorded in the Eleventh Five Year Plan period to these activities. Under Rural Development, Rs.16330.24 crores was spent (106.94% to its outlay and 10.33% of the total expenditure) against an outlay of Rs.15269.84 Crores (8.13% of total outlay).

Under General Economic Services, the expenditure for Eleventh Five Year Plan period was Rs.4361.78 Crores, which amounts to 75.13% of its outlay of Rs. 5805.85 Crores. The state has committed itself to focus on increasing public spending on social sector, especially on Housing, Urban development and welfare of SCs, STs, minorities etc besides setting up targets under priority sectors like irrigation, agriculture and rural development and aiming to ensure faster social development through inclusive pattern of growth. The Government has emphasised the Housing Sector and allocated an outlay of Rs.16,688.36 crores during the 11th Plan period for providing houses. Rs.11696.54 crores expenditure was incurred which is 70.09% of the housing sector outlay. The Mid-Day Meal Programme is being implemented in the state to children of 1st to 5th class in Government/ Local Bodies/Aided schools to increase nutrition of children. The programme was later further extended up to 8th class to improve retention in schools and to achieve total literacy in the state. The Government continued its focus on school education and initiated several steps including expansion of mid-meal scheme and providing books free of cost to students up to 10th class in Government schools to increase enrolment and reduce drop outs. To this effect, Rs.6308.80 crore
was spent which works out to 78.92% of the General education sector outlay against an outlay of Rs.7994.19 crore allotted during the Eleventh Plan period under General education. The Government observed that the share of public expenditure on Health compared to private investment in health is low. To correct this imbalance in the Eleventh plan, the Government initiated various programmes to reduce Infant Mortality Rate, Maternal Mortality Ratio, Total Fertility Rate and to increase institutional deliveries and Children Immunization Rate. The Government took up the initiative Rajiv Aarogya Sree Community Health Insurance under public private partnership to improve access of BPL families to quality medical treatment of diseases involving hospitalization and surgery. The Government allotted an outlay of Rs.6752.68 Crores for Medical and Public Health and incurred an expenditure of Rs.6288.27 Crores (93.12% to its outlay) to meet this objective in the Eleventh Five year Plan. The detailed outlay and expenditure statements are outlined in Annexure 10.1.

Performance of Flagship Programmes

With a view to impart greater momentum to the efforts being made in various sectors, the Government of India has launched flagship programmes under economic infrastructure sector and social sectors. In the recent past, there has been a growing concern for the implementation of flagship programmes. The Chaturvedi Committee on restructuring of the Centrally Sponsored Schemes(CSS) suggested flexibility in the design of the CSS to be given to States to meet their special local needs. The committee suggested that 20% of the budget allocation in all the CSS (10% in Flagship schemes) to be called flexi funds should be earmarked in each scheme for this purpose. Effective implementation of flagship programmes of the Government of India is going to be cornerstone of development in the coming years, especially during the 12th Five Year Plan. The flagship programmes being implemented by the State are: Rashtriya Krishi Vikas Yojana (RKVY), National Horticulture Mission (NHM), Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGS), 229

TWELFTH FIVE YEAR PLAN (2012-17)

Growth Platform
The growth experience of Andhra Pradesh in the recent past has been commendable. Compared to previous decades, the average growth rate of the state economy in the last decade is substantially higher. During last decade (2002-2012), the state economy grew at an average rate of 8%, exceeding the Nations average growth rate of 7.82% for the same period. It is pertinent to recall that the growth performance of the State has been better than the national average during both the 10th and the 11th Plan particularly in agriculture and industry sectors. The higher growth of GSDP and faster decline in rate of growth in population in the state further raised the level of per capita income in the State to 10% higher than the national average per capita income. One important feature of the growth experienced in the Eleventh Plan, as revealed by the 12th Plan which is relevant for inclusiveness, is that high rates of economic growth have been more broadly shared than ever before across the States.

12th Five Year Plan(2012-17)

Government of India prepared the approach paper for 12th Plan by involving the civil society and NGOs, seeking their inputs, suggestions and experiences in identifying challenges and areas that require special focus. The Planning Commission, upon discussing the approach paper for the 12th Plan, brought out the document for the 12th Plan and got approval in the NDC meeting. Keeping in view of the slowdown of the economy in the recent past, the overall growth target of 9% originally envisaged by the GoI for the 12th Plan has been revised to 8.2%. Accordingly, the sectoral growths targets for Agriculture, Industry and Services sectors have been revised to 4%, 8.1% and 9.1% respectively. The main theme of the 12th Plan is faster, sustainable and more inclusive growth. The 12th Plan document outlined the following 25 most important monitorable indicators. 234

Andhra Pradesh preparations for 12th Plan

The State along with the Nation entered the 12th Five Year Plan (2012-17) on an optimistic note from the 1st April, 2012. The State Government in its endeavour to firm up the ideas and prepare appropriate strategies and eventually come up with an approach for its 12th Five Year Plan in line with the thinking of the Government of India, have broadly formed ten working groups covering Agriculture, Industry and Services sectors and stationed them at the Centre for Economic and Social Studies (CESS). Each of these working groups is headed by a Professor/Senior faculty from the CESS and ensuring due representation from line departments, NGOs, Civil Society Organizations. These working groups made detailed discussions with the respective line departments for firming the strategies for preparing the approach for the 12th Plan in line with States thinking and with broad overall Nations objectives. Similar to the 25 key monitorable indicators identified by the Planning Commission for the XII Plan, the State has also identified 50 monitorable indicators whose regular monitoring is expected to propel growth. In the 56th National Development Council (NDC) meeting on Approach to 12th Five Year Plan the States approach and Strategies for the 12th Five Year Plan have been discussed at length. Some of the identified issues include: Priority to agriculture and subsidy provided to power use, interest on the loans and other inputs. The State is making large investments in developing water potential both for irrigation and for drinking purposes as well.
Environment and Sustainability

21. Increase green cover (as measured by satellite imagery) by 1 million hectare every year during the XII Plan. 22. Add 30000 MW of renewable energy capacity in the XII Plan. 23. Reduce emission intensity of GDP in line with the target of 20 per cent to 25 per cent reduction by 2020 over 2005 levels.
Growth Targets for the 12th Plan

With the experience gained during the last few years through implementation of several welfare and developmental programmes reinforced with fiscal discipline, Andhra Pradesh is confident of targeting a growth of 10% during the 12th Plan period with the corresponding sectoral growth targets of 6% for Agriculture, 10.5% for Industry and 11.5% for Services.
Service Delivery
24. Provide access to banking services to 90 per cent Indian households by the end of XII Plan 25. Major subsidies and welfare related beneficiary payments to be shifted to a direct cash transfer by the end of the XII Plan, using the Aadhar platform with linked bank accounts.

Important strategies for 12th Plan

The 12th Plan provides an opportunity to restructure policies to achieve a new vision of growth that will be faster, more broad-based, sustainable and more inclusive. With the fairly decent growth experience behind, the Nation is poised to make yet another impressive mark during the 12th Five Year Plan. The following are some of the priorities and strategies for the 12th Plan.

The overall strategy would be to look beyond growth and focus on generation of employment to the millions of the youth in the State. This would eventually result in a faster reduction in unemployment and poverty through skill development and also help bridging multiple divides. The State Government has identified the need for substantial increases in plan outlays to the identified core sectors such as Agriculture, Livestock, Fisheries, Horticulture, Industries, IT, Tourism, Youth Welfare and Minority welfare from the first year of the 12th Plan itself i.e., Annual Plan 2012-13. The most important thrust area, among other key issues, identified by the State for effectively utilizing the abundant labour force would be enhancing skill development since demographic dividend can add to growth potential, subject to fulfillment of two conditions First, much higher levels of health, education and skill development must be achieved. Second, creation of an environment in which the economy not only grows rapidly, but also expands good quality employment/livelihood opportunities to meet the needs. A growth rate of 10% requires significant acceleration in growth in agriculture, mining, registered manufacturing, construction and in services. Agricultural growth has always been an important component for effecting inclusiveness. However, the task of providing additional jobs to the growing labour force rests on manufacturing, construction and services sectors.
Poverty reduction
The performance of Andhra Pradesh in reducing income poverty has been impressive, particularly in rural areas. Estimates for 2009-10 indicate a further decline in poverty to 21.1% in the state from 29.6% in 200405 in AP while it fell to 29.8% from 37% at all India level during the same period. A noteworthy feature is that the faster rate of poverty reduction has led to a fall in absolute number of poor in the state.
Agriculture, allied sectors, Irrigation and Rural Development

The Group of Secretaries constituted for working out convergence in Primary Sector will work on firming up strategies for strengthening Agriculture Technology Mission(ATM) covering the subjects of agriculture, horticulture, fisheries, food processing, storage and marketing. The main thrust areas are: promoting System of Rice Intensification (SRI) cultivation in 10.00 lakh ha. by 2016-17, seed replacement, oil palm development, cluster development for value addition up to 50%, avoidance of handling losses and agri-business strategy. In rain-fed areas, Agriculture diversification to high value commodities has been given importance. The foodgrain production, which attained a level of 204 lakh tonnes during the 11th Plan (2007-12) is targeted to reach a new peak of 300 lakh MTs(increase of 47%) during the 12th Plan. Rice being the staple food, it is planned to increase the production of rice during the 12th Plan from the present normal level of 131.3 lakh MTs to 216.2 lakh MTs. The State also targets to increase the production of pulses to 24.2 lakh tonnes by the end of 12th Plan from the present normal level of 19.7 lakh MTs and enhance 236
Highest outlay for 12th Plan

Andhra Pradesh stands tall among all the States and Union Territories with the largest projected outlay of
Maize production from the present level of 37.5 lakh MTs to 51 Lakh tonnes by the end of 12th Plan. By 201617, it is planned to supply 18.8 lakh quintals of seed on subsidy out of the estimated total seed requirement of about 52.5 lakh quintals. Micronutrient deficiency in Andhra Pradesh soils is identified as one of the major constraints to crop productivity while there are areas where the Zinc, Sulphur, Iron and Manganese deficiencies are vast. Correcting micro nutrient deficiency will be a major initiative in the 12th Plan. Credit flow to farmers has increased during the last few years. However, due to erratic monsoon and uncertain markets, the debt burden is going up considerably and the State is planning to provide large amounts of agriculture loans to farmers. Further, improved incentive scheme of Vaddi Leni Runalu (0% interest loans) introduced in place of Pavala Vaddi to farmers who have made prompt repayment of crop loans, will be a boon for the farmers. The Government is requesting the GoI to expedite the operationalisation of interest subvention of 7% on par with farmers to all the SHGs to cover all districts in Andhra Pradesh. This will help the poor to move out of poverty faster. A programme for construction of 25 lakh tonnes of scientific storage space is also initiated. It is aimed to reduce post-harvest losses from 35% to less than 25% by investing and building post-harvest infrastructure facilities like cold storages, integrated pack houses, ripening chambers and reefer vans etc and strengthening the linkages between production clusters and buyers. During the XII Plan, it is also planned to consider setting up of cold storages and attract entrepreneurs to establish their infrastructure. Value addition in Horticulture and agri-business is possible with proper marketing infrastructure in place. The role of private players under the PPP mode with Government as a facilitator is being worked out as a viable option to overcome shortage of godown space. During the 12th Plan, strategies are being worked out to establish a Mega Food park in each district in the State. Preparation of roadmaps for translating priorities, targets etc. into action plans for implementation, duly supported by strategies for value addition and creation of infrastructure facilities for propelling growth of Agriculture, Horticulture, Milk, Meat and Eggs and Fisheries sectors have been worked out.
The Government of Indias reform-oriented decision of allowing Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in multibrand retail in the Country helps not only to introduce new technology and bring in investment in marketing agricultural produce but also strengthen the supply chain considerably. Fisheries sector has performed well in the 11th Plan period. The total fish production in the State is expected to increase to 22.5 lakh tonnes by 2016-17 from its current level of 16.5 lakh tonnes. Inland fisheries account for about 75% production of the total fisheries. More than five lakh families are engaged in marine fishing which supports livelihoods of approximately 15 lakh people. Livestock is a key area of intervention during the 12th Plan. Andhra Pradesh currently ranks 2nd in milk production in the country with 120 lakh metric tonnes. With the State Milk Mission in place, it is programmed to double milk production and thereby increase incomes of famers. Irrigation as an essential input to agriculture will continue to be the focus during the 12th Plan also. In addition, the priority is to enhance water use efficiency for increasing irrigated area. During the 12th Five Year Plan, it is planned to create 78.9 lakh acres of Irrigation Potential at an estimated cost of over Rs.1.2 lakh crore. During the first two years of the 12th Plan, it is targetted to complete 50 projects for creating Irrigation Potential of over 30 lakh acres. Reflecting genuine concern of the Government for the farmers, a separate document for the farming sector to bring progress and invigorate the agriculture and allied sectors, is proposed for the first time in the State. The government had launched the programme Indira Jal Prabha during November, 2011 to convert 10 lakh acres of uncultivated lands belonging to the poorest of poor SC/ST households to cultivable irrigated lands. A projected expenditure of Rs. 395 crores is envisaged under the project during the 12th Plan. Since economic empowerment of women holds the key for transformative rejuvenation of the poor, a number of pension schemes like Abhaya Hastham, Aam Admi Bhima Yojana and Janshree Bhima Yojana have been initiated to cover the SHG members access to Social Safety nets and entitlements. For ensuring effective implementation of the rural development initiatives, an expenditure plan of over Rs. 14,000 crore for the 12th Plan is being conceived. 237
Rural road connectivity is an important concern for the State. Out of the total Road (all roads) length of 2.15 lakh kms in the State, the Panchayat Roads account for 1.44 lakh kms and the balance 0.71 lakh kms roads is under Roads and Buildings Department.
Energy
Even though power situation has been difficult in the recent past, supply of adequate power has been ensured to over 32 lakh pump sets in the state. Due to reduction in the Gas supply from the KG 6 Basin, quantum of energy produced by gas based power plants has come down drastically. All necessary steps are being taken to meet this deficit. APGENCO continues to add additional capacity of power and in the next one year, it plans to add 2200 MW through commissioning of new units at Kakatiya Thermal Power Station and Krishnapatnam Thermal Power station. The state Government is also going in a big way for harnessing solar power in the state and accordingly announced Andhra Pradesh Solar Power Policy, 2012 to encourage generation of solar power in the state. The state has also planned for purchase of 1000 MW of solar power through DISCOMs.
destination in the country that provides the right climate for the growth of IT business and is a home for a host of Indian IT majors. The Government has also taken up new initiatives to promote and augment the growth of IT sector in the state through Development of Information Technology Investment Region (ITIR) in an area of 202 sq. kms in and around Hyderabad and Rangareddy districts. The IT and ITES sectors have directly created 3.19 lakh jobs in the emerging new economy. IT sector contributes 39% of total exports from our state. The Government introduced a new initiative - Mee Seva, an online web based citizen-centric service facility to provide access to the citizens for getting services from multiple Government offices. Since inception, the total number of transactions through Mee Seva have crossed one Crore.
Skill Development
The Rajiv Yuva Kiranalu programme under the Rajiv Education and Employment Mission has been launched to enhance employment opportunities for the youth of the State. The Mission targets to provide placement to 15 lakh youth by 2014 @ 5 lakh youth per year for three years. The development of higher education-including technical education leading to enhancement of skill development remains the core agenda for 12th Plan period. Towards this, 97 Skill Development Centers have been commissioned in the State.
Industry
The State has a strong industrial base with huge industrial investments providing employment to 28.26 lakh persons in both the Large and Marginal, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). Employment in MSMEs is nearly 10 times that of the large industries. Our Industrial strategy envisages productivity enhancement of MSMEs through clusters, under PPP model particularly in the employment intensive sectors like readymade garments, textile, electronics, footwear, food processing etc. Skill development and employment generation especially under the manufacturing sector through development of MSME is going to be yet another focus area during the 12th Plan period. The government is planning to create over 3.70 million additional employment opportunities in the textiles, construction, and IT & ITES, tourism and health care and other sectors during the 12th Plan period.
Social sector initiatives

Focus is given to improving Drinking water and Sanitation conditions in the state. Of the 72,388 habitations in the State, 17,318 habitations are fully covered (55 lpcd) and 40,276 habitations partially covered by safe drinking water. It is proposed to cover the balance partially covered and quality affected habitations with 40 lpcd service level by the end of the 12th Plan period. A major concern for the 12th plan is the increasing number of quality affected habitations. The 14,794 quality affected habitations are proposed to be covered for safe drinking water in a phased manner by 2014-15. It is proposed to cover all the 21,757 Gram Panchayats in the State with sanitation facilities during the 12th Plan. Providing water supply to schools, school toilets and anganwadis is being taken up seriously.
Information Technology
Andhra Pradesh has emerged as the most preferred 238
For improving public health services in the state, about 4264 Nutrition cum Day Care Centers (NDCCs) have been established under the Health and Nutrition convergence initiative. The NDCCs are run by the SHGs and provide nutritious hot cooked meals to pregnant woman daily. The villages where the NDCCs have been established have shown encouraging results and have reported 97% safe deliveries among the women enrolled in these centres. The Group of Secretaries, constituted recently for improving the social sector performance and bringing in convergence through linking of NDCCs with the ICDS Anganwadi centres, is consciously working on devising strategies to usher in a safe and healthy future for all. Population growth rate in our State has considerably come down during the last 20 years. Annual growth rate stands at 1.11% today. It has been one of the most dramatic success stories of population control in the country. As part of the efforts to reduce Maternal Mortality Ratio (MMR) and Infant Mortality Rate (IMR) and ensure health growth of infants, the government have recently launched the scheme of Indiramma Amrutha Hastham under which, one nutritious meal a day to pregnant woman and lactating mothers is being provided at Anganwadis in 102 high risk Integrated Child Development Scheme (ICDS) Projects. Mother and Child Tracking System (MCTS) to monitor the holistic improvements in the health of the people is put in place. A convergence initiative, MAARPU among departments relating to delivery of health services with twin focus on strengthening the district administration and the strong self help groups at the community is being implemented. The three important programmes which earned worldwide recognition and replicated in many states across the country - Rajiv Arogya Sri Health Insurance Scheme to all BPL families, 108-Emergency response services and 104-Universal Health Information Helpline and fixed day Health services, are being run successfully in the state expanding their coverage and acceptability. Education has been recognized as a critical aspect for ensuring equitable and sustainable human development. Andhra Pradesh is committed to Education for All and Millennium Development Goals(MDGs). Although substantial progress has been made during the 11th Plan in access, enrollment, retention, equity and quality in education, it requires rigorous efforts to achieve set goals in elementary and secondary education. The State has experienced a breakthrough in implementation of 239
schemes under District Primary Education Programme and Sarva Siksha Abhiyan (SSA) and also registered good progress in implementation of National Flagship programmes of Mid-Day Meals and Sarva Siksha Abhiyan. Government is equally inclined towards urban development. The Hyderabad Metro Rail Project currently under construction on PPP mode is planned to cover 71 kms in the city spreading across three high density traffic corridors and this project is declared as one of the Strategic 100 Mega Investment projects in the World. The project being developed on Design, Build, Finance, Operate and Transfer mode is considered to be the single largest private investment in a PPP project in India besides being one of the largest metro rail projects build and operated by a private entity anywhere in the World. The works are on a fast track. Union Governments flagship programmes like the JnNURM have been very helpful in addressing a number of urban management problems. Andhra Pradesh with 252 sanctioned projects costing Rs. 11,877 crores under JnNURM stands 2nd highest in the country. The Government of Andhra Pradesh has also unveiled a policy for a Slum Free Andhra Pradesh by 2014 and committed to provide houses and infrastructure facilities to all houseless urban poor. Urban poor families in Andhra Pradesh are organized into 2.5 lakh Self Help Groups (SHGs) in slums to help them improve their quality of life.
Social justice, equity and equality

One significant innovative initiative taken up by the Andhra Pradesh Government in recent past during the 1st year of the 12th Plan is the enactment of the Act, Andhra Pradesh Scheduled Castes Sub-Plan and Tribal Sub-Plan(Planning Allocation and Utilisation of Financial Resources), 2013. The Act, proposes to ensure accelerated development of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes with emphasis on achieving equality in the next ten years focusing on economic, educational and human development along with ensuring the security and social dignity and promoting equity among the SCs and STs by earmarking a portion, in proportion to population of SCs and STs in the State of the Total Plan Outlay of the State as the outlay of the Scheduled Castes Sub-Plan and Tribal Sub-Plan of the State. The SCSP/TSP plan would be implemented in a focused and targeted manner.
Flagship programmes a new thrust during the 12th Plan

One area that attracts due attention during the 12th Plan period is more effective implementation of flagship programmes. The 12th Plan document of the GoI highlights that there is a proliferation of centrally sponsored schemes over a period which led to poor implementation, duplication, lack of convergence and sub-optimal results and stressed the urgency of transforming the system and considerably reduce the number of schemes. The Central Government plans to restructure the Centrally Sponsored Schemes in the light of the recommendations of Dr. Chaturvedi Committee where the State will have flexibility to utilise 20% of these funds to formulate schemes suiting State specific requirements.
The State Government is also working out on evolving a Result Framework on the lines of the Government of India which provides a summary of the most important results that a department expects to achieve during the financial year. This document shall have two main purposes: (a) shifting the focus from process- orientation to results-orientation, and (b) provide an objective and fair basis to evaluate departments overall performance at the end of the year. Fitting into the Result framework, the State Government is embarking on an innovative idea to identify a few most important outcomes of core departments for regular and systematic monitoring for better results, shifting the traditional focus from the outlays to outcomes. As a part of the 12th Plan strategy, it is also proposed to establish Strategic Planning and Innovative Units (SPIUs) which will be governed by each of the Convergence Groups.
Convergence of departments- Effective monitoring through RFDs and SPIUs

The 12th Plan document highlighted that a key deficiency of Plan programmes is that they continue to function within the confines of departmental silos without requisite convergence and with a high degree of duplication of efforts. Interestingly, exactly with a similar thought process, the state Government has set up 5 separate Groups of Secretaries for - Social sector, Primary sector, Road sector, Rural and Urban Infrastructure for poverty eradication and Industry sectors under the Chairmanship of the Chief Secretary to workout convergence of departments for optimizing results.
Effective delivery through Aadhar

Andhra Pradesh is a fore runner in implementing Aadhar Project where over 6 crore enrolments out of the total population of 8.4 crore have already been enrolled.
