Developing Vijayawada

Vijayawada is a commercial city of Andhra Pradesh and is also referred to by its historic name Bezawada. Located on the bank of river Krishna, the city is well connected to other regions by road, rail and air. It is sociologically dominant, politically active and agriculturally rich. It is also recognized as a Global City of the Future and is an industrial transportation hub. There is strong focus on the existing infrastructure of the city, what with the division of Andhra Pradesh looking imminent. Shri Koneru Prasad is one of the few people who carry a strong vision for Vijayawada.

The main hurdle until now in the development of Vijayawada is inadequate funds and several project lie ignored and pending for a long time. Thanks to the active support and initiative of Shri Koneru Prasad , many of these projects are breathing life again and  can finally move from those files to reality.

Let us take a look at some of the main aspects that Shri Koneru Prasad has been working on in Vijayawada.

Employment for youth 
Due to the indecisiveness of the State Government, many youth in Vijayawada have lost their jobs. Shri Koneru Prasad has introduced career programs that aid to offer jobs to the unemployed youth. Private organizations are being encouraged to offer attractive salaries the deserving youth in industries, services and hospitality sectors.

Education for all 
The education in Vijayawada enjoys a pre-eminent position in the life of the indigenous population of the city. Shri Koneru Prasad thinks that there is a need to focus on the overall development of the students and provide modern infrastructural amenities. He encourages the students to develop a deeper insight into the field for further enrichment of knowledge. Distance education too is on the cards.

Economic growth through industrialization 
Vijayawada is also the center of Andhra politics and a hub of commercial activities and Shri Koneru Prasad is well aware of that. He has played an important role in developing the industrial sector and software units to contribute to exports.

Shri Koneru Prasad is focusing on the women's economic, social and political achievements.

Primary healthcare and day care specialties are further improved and the existing portfolio has been extended into high end specialty services with a better infrastructure.

Providing Water to Vijayawada 
Vijayawada and other surrounding town and villages need to have water-tap connections and 24 hour access to water. Thanks to the efforts of Shri Koneru Prasad and his team, serious issues like chlorine level, leakages, overflows and flows are being looked into.
