Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, for the first time during his three years in office, will hold a day-long review meeting with the Andhra Pradesh government on issues ranging from agriculture to the pending clearances with the Centre with regard to irrigation projects, here on July 31, 2007. | |
| A senior government official said the Prime Minister's review meeting would be a broad-based one and not just confined to the implementation of the Prime Minister's package, which was announced to the distress districts or the agriculture sector. |
| |
| The state government is, however, gearing up to give a detailed account of its ongoing initiatives in agriculture, horticulture and animal husbandry as the Prime Minister's primary concern this time is expected to be about achieving 4 per cent growth in agriculture. |
| |
| Chief minister Y S Rajasekhara Reddy on Tuesday held a meeting with senior officials of various departments in connection with the Prime Minister's scheduled visit. |
| |
| "The Prime Minister wants to discuss all the developmental issues in detail, particularly the agricultural growth, which has remained static since the last few years," a press release issued by the chief minister's office said. |
