Andhra CM Naidu to launch surprise inspections from next month

AMaravati, Andhra Pradesh Chief regime minister N Chandrababu Naidu on mon informed officials that he would start surprisal inspections of government schemes and services starting next month. While reviewing government schemes and public services at the Secretariat, Naidu discussed public feedback with the Chief Secretary K Vijayanand and other senior officials. “Surprise inspections could begin any time after June 12 across the state,” said Naidu in an official press release, which noted that the CM is reviewing public feedback weekly across four departments. This week, he examined feedback on ration distribution, Deepam 2 , Andhra Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation , and panchayat services. With the coalition government nearing its one-year mark, Naidu emphasised the need for complete public satisfaction in all departments regarding service delivery. While some departments have shown improvement, services such as SRTC still require significant quality enhancement, he noted. Regarding Deepam 2, Naidu announced that the subsidy for three cooking gas cylinders, provided annually to beneficiaries, will now be credited in full upfront. Beneficiaries can claim the cylinders as needed, but the government will ensure that the entire subsidy amount is transferred at once. He emphasised that no agency or intermediary should collect any additional money from beneficiaries. Although West Godavari district emerged as the most satisfactory in terms of ration distribution and delivery, Naidu acknowledged that issues persist in some areas that need to be addressed. He suggested directly crediting the subsidy amount to beneficiaries’ accounts to prevent delivery agents from demanding money during gas delivery. Given that public satisfaction with SRTC remains below expectations, Naidu directed officials to enhance the quality and efficiency of its services. Regarding panchayat services, Naidu said that 60 per cent of respondents confirmed regular household waste collection. He noted that garbage collection in rural areas has improved and announced that Development of Women and Children in Rural Areas women would soon be engaged in managing wet waste and compost production. Naidu underscored the importance of data analytics in improving government services, stating that it enables departments to assess their performance from the grassroots level. He said that proper analysis of public feedback could lead to transformative improvements in service delivery. Naidu instructed senior officials across all departments to leverage analytics tools to enhance their services and performance.
