NITI Aayog member Ramesh Chand has lauded the Andhra Pradesh government for achieving growth rates higher than the national averages in various sectors, including agriculture and higher education, and for having an impressive per capita income.
Andhra Pradesh fared better than several States in spite of the constraints faced by it, Prof. Ramesh told Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy in a meeting with him at his camp office on Friday.
Prof. Ramesh said Andhra Pradesh ranked No.1 in the production of fruits and in aquaculture. He said the Rythu Bharosa Kendras (RBKs) proved to be of tremendous help to the farmers by providing them an array of services across the agricultural supply chain.
