President Ram Nath Kovind will launch the Andhra Pradesh Fiber grid project on December 27 at the Andhra Pradesh Secretariat, Amaravati.

Andhra Pradesh Fiber grid is a prestigious project initiated by state Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu, which aims to expand high speed internet facility in the state.
