Tirupati: Department of Economics, Sri Venkateswara University, Tirupati hosted the fourth annual conference of Rayalaseema Economic Association on Saturday. MLC Y Srinivasulu Reddy sent his message to the conference in which he felt that the formation of new districts would make it easier to deliver the fruits of government schemes to the people at lower transaction costs. He also added that Rayalaseema districts were rich in several minerals and with the formation of smaller districts, the region is expected to grow very fast.
Prof K Munirathnam Naidu in his keynote address emphasised that the formation of new districts opened Pandora's box since there was no justifiable economic rationale behind the formation of new districts. He added that Madanapalle could have been the headquarters of the new Annamayya district and Nagari could have been merged with Tirupati district.
Association president Prof A Ranga Reddy stressed the need for strengthening Gram Sabhas as advocated by Gandhiji.
