PRIORITIZED
PERSPECTIVE
ON GOVERNANCE
Prioritized Perspective on
Governance
The State Government formed in June 2019 after securing an unprecedented mandate
in the recent general elections, has decided to go all out with NAVARATHNALU,
an integrated scheme with ninecross cuttingthemes covering agriculture, health,
education, housing, welfare sectors.The government is committed to uplift the
downtrodden and the deprived with corrupt free and inclusive governance while
dispensing the welfare measure to the eligible without any prejudices of caste, colour,
creed or political affiliation. This will ensure removal of discretion while sanctioning
the benefits, which will always give scope for corruption.Having noticed that amidst
pockets of affluence, there are segments of population which have been neglected
during last decade and more so in the recent past, deserve additional support.
The schemes pertaining to various departments that cater to different themes
identified under Navaratnalu are being provided with necessary funds in the current
year budget 2019-20. With an aim to saturate the basic needs, the government is keen
to ensure that all the commitments outlined in the manifesto, which extend beyond
those envisaged under Navaratnalu, are fulfilled in a definite timeframe in letter and
spirit.
Currently, the progress under each important scheme implemented in the State is
being monitored regularly through a web based platform.The priority of the new
government is to effectively implement the related themes outlined in the manifesto in
general and NAVARATNALU in particular and undertakerobust periodic monitoring
of the progress. Therefore, in order to evaluate, assess the progress and to know the
impact of each scheme, a systematic monitoring and evaluation system at different
levels is found vital.
Keeping in view of the priorities of the new government and for effective monitoring
of the schemes and indicators of different departments including the fresh set of
indicators that need to be identified, the departments have been requested totake
adequate care in ensuring that the set of indicators so finalized are included in the
Outcome Budget 2019-20.
In the present chapter, the Navaratnalu and other priorities, which the government
wants to fulfil are presented theme-wise.
