Chairman of Tata Trust Ratan Tata met with AP Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu on Monday at the CM's camp office in

Vijayawada.

Speaking on the occasion, Naidu said this was the first time that such a huge number of villages are being adopted. Before the

media interaction began, Mr. Naidu showered encomiums on Mr. Tata, saying he is an icon for Indian industry and that A.P needed

his valuable advice for development at the present juncture.

Tata trusts has also conducted a comprehensive household survey in all villagesand identified the activities to be taken up, he

said. Ratan Tata right from the Mumbai drove his flight on his own, he turned to be Pilot and drove it way for Vijayawada.

He didn't give a direct reply when asked about the direct investment that the Tata Group may make in the state. At the end of my

career, I realise that money can't buy one thing.And that is to create an excitement in your life. "I am sure Mr. Chandrababu Naidu

will lead A.P. successfully on the growth path", he said.

Start-ups, which do not emulate start-ups in the US or anywhere in the world, are the ones that excite him. Successful start-ups are

those which strike a chord within India and overseas as well as reflect the confidence investors have in them, he told in response to

a question from a young entrepreneur.

The villages will be developed in Vijayawada constituency and Tata Trusts will work towards community empowerment and

improve the overall quality of living through an integrated multi-thematic approach in the region.

for developing 264 villages. This is the first time such a huge number of villages are being adopted. This will set an example as the

programme will be mentored by Ratan Tata.''The partnership with AP would focus on marine fisheries and a comprehensive

aquaculture development model would be worked out to enhance the livelihood of small and marginal fishermen.Using the

government's feeding and distribution programmes like Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS), mid-day meal and public

distribution system (PDS) as delivery channels, the collaboration would also target micronutrient deficiencies like anemia.The

collaboration's framework would be to enhance social security and infrastructure development through implementation of central

and state-level schemes and livelihood enhancement programmes, said R Venkataramanan, executive trustee, Tata Trusts.An

adequately staffed programme management unit (PMU) would be set up to ensure implementation of the proposed plans to be

arrived at jointly by the planning department of AP and Tata Trusts, he said, adding that successful interventions would be scaled

up.

AP poised for great future: Tata

http://www.thehindu.com/news/national/andhra-pradesh/ap-poised-for-great-future-tata/article7576723.ece

Here is a morale booster from Tatas to Andhra Pradesh which is aspiring to build a world class capital besides an industrial

ecosystem. Ratan Tata, Chairman Emeritus of TATA Sons and Chairman of TATA Trusts, has expressed confidence that various

corporate houses including the TATA Group will be interested in having a presence in the fledgling State of Andhra Pradesh.

"I can say for sure the future of A.P is going to be great with the kind of plans, resources and leadership it has", Mr. Tata said.

Addressing a press conference along with Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu after a meeting with industry captains in

Vijayawada on Monday, Mr. Tata said the future of any State was dependent on its leadership. With Mr. Chandrababu Naidu in the

saddle A.P is poised to become a model for others. "I am sure Mr. Chandrababu Naidu will lead A.P. successfully on the growth

path," he said.

Earlier, Mr. Chandrababu Naidu said Mr. Tata positively responded to lend the TATA Trusts' (Sir Dorabji Tata Trust and Sir Ratan

Tata Trust) expertise in promoting start-up companies and incubation centres in the State. Mr. Tata also agreed to travel across

A.P to look at sectors to which the TATA Trusts could possibly extend a helping hand.

"I had requested Mr. Tata to invest in the combined State of Andhra Pradesh when I was Chief Minister. He will fully support us

now also", Mr. Naidu claimed.

Asked whether the government has invited TATA Group entities like TCS to foray into A.P in a big way, Mr. Naidu said he had a

detailed discussion with the Group Chairman Cyrus Mistry during the latter's visit to Rajahmundry for Godavari Pushkaram. Various

issues are under examination. Hopefully they would come out soon with concrete plans. "I am sure TATA Trusts will have a larger

stake in the development of Andhra Pradesh in the future with the present partnership for development of 264 villages in

Vijayawada Lok Sabha constituency serving as a turning point in the State's history," Mr. Naidu added. Before the media interaction

began, Mr. Naidu showered encomiums on Mr. Tata, saying he is an icon for Indian industry and that A.P needed his valuable

advice for development at the present juncture. TATA Trusts Executive Trustee R. Venkataramanan, Vijayawada MP Kesineni

Srinivas, Ministers Devineni Umamaheswara Rao, P. Sujatha, Kollu Ravindra and Mayor K. Sridhar were present.

villages. The government would extend all possible cooperation in realising the objective of micro-planning, he said, adding that at

http://www.newindianexpress.com/states/andhra_pradesh/Tata-Trust-Pact-to-Make-Villages-Smart/2015/08/25/article2991911.ece

Taking another step in the direction of developing Andhra Pradesh as a smart state by developing villages as smart villages, the

state government entered a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Tata Trust here on Sunday.

Though the MoU is for the development of 264 villages in the Vijayawada Parliamentary Constituency with focus on human

resources development and employment generation avenues, the State Government sees it as a cornerstone for the development

of the state as 'the best state' by 2029. The MoU was signed by R Venkataraman, CEO of Tata Trust, on its behalf and Shanti Priya

Pandey, Additional Secretary (Planning), on behalf of the government.

Launching the Village Development Plans and the website for the Vijayawada Bamboo Mission, along with Chief Minister N

Chandrababu Naidu, Tata Trust Chairman Ratan Tata said he looked forward to a great partnership between the state government

and Tata Trust. He said it would be a step in the direction of helping the betterment of quality of life in villages. Recalling his past

interaction with Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu, the Tata Trust Chairman said he held the former in great esteem. He wished

the CM and the state all successes in the coming years.

Speaking on the occasion, Naidu said it was a start in the direction of Smart AP' and called upon people of the state settled across

the world to chip in with their knowledge and other contributions to make the state a smart one and help in improving the lives of

people in the rural areas.

Hailing the initiative of Vijayawada MP Kesineni Srinivas, which saw the Tata Trust becoming a partner in the development of 264

villages of his constituency like never before, the CM said many companies and individuals were also coming forward to partner

with the state in its development.

"However, to make such initiatives successful, people's cooperation and active participation are of paramount importance", he

maintained.

Pointing out at the technologies like geo tagging, GAP analysis to do baseline survey of 10 lakh families in 264 villages in

Vijayawada Parliamentary Constituency which was made possible with people's cooperation, the CM said the government would

be launching Pulse Smart Survey in the state to get details of all the people in the state and that the job had been entrusted to

Special Chief Secretary S P Tucker.

Stating that technology had become cost-effective, the CM said that using the tablets being provided by the government, VROs and

sarpanches in the villages could identify the needs of the people and the gaps in implementation of schemes / programmes and

initiate corrective measures. He cited ePOS in the PDS, distribution of pensions using hand-held tabs at the doorsteps of the

beneficiaries to emphasis that usage of technology not only ensured transparency but also saved lots of money.

Assuring the villages of the government's help with regard to matching grants and gap solutions for different programmes to be

taken up at the village level, he said the villages doing well in development and the implementation of welfare schemes would be

given 'Best Village' awards and their sarpanches and officials would be felicitated during Sankranti.

On the occasion, he cited the government initiatives like seven missions and five grids for the overall development of the state.
