You shall assess the impact of schemes and the performance of various departments has to be studied. Use available resources in cost-effective ways to develop AP,” he said.
Mr Naidu also spoke about the uncertainty due to non-allocation of permanent cadre of IAS officials. “We need to understand that there is uncertainty; I will stand by officers who work honestly. We hope this will be solved soon and things will fall in place. We have strengths and challenges.”
