Amaravati (AP), Feb 16 (ANI): Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu held a Budget Preparatory Meeting with ministers, heads of government departments and secretaries at the state Secretariat on Friday. Addressing the officials, Naidu said development is possible through new and innovative methods and nothing is possible with age-old conventional methods. He suggested the higher officials to realise the same and work in accordance with the government targets. He called them to improvise their performance considering the ranks being given to government departments by various agencies. CM Naidu said the state is facing testing times and it is high time to abolish the age-old acts and bring in new innovative methods. He guided that the budget be prepared keeping in mind the sustained development and public satisfaction as the ultimate aim. “All the government departments should be ready with the estimates for necessary funds,” CM said. The CM expressed dissatisfaction that though reforms are being brought in all departments, they are not visible in some departments. He opined that the decisions taken in energy, agriculture and water resources yielded better results. In particular, he lauded the power department, saying reforms in that sector are much fruitful. The CM said the budget session will begin in first week of March, governor speech will be on March 5, and state annual Budget will be introduced on March 8.
