Officials also proposed the ‘Ananda Lahiri’ plan, a weekly event conducted in all 110 municipalities and corporations of the state. For four hours every week, authorities will organise talent shows for professionals, amateurs and students to exhibit and nurture different talents.
The Chief Minister readily approved, saying that this would be a successful community building exercise and induce overall morale development of citizens.“Talent will not just be encouraged as hobbies, but the events will help create a platform for building soft power for Andhra Pradesh,” he said.
These events will open dialogue to address social evils like dowry, child marriage, gender inequality, drugs, alcohol and caste, as these are the themes assigned for professional artist performances.The Chief Minister also encouraged the officials to include more activities like sports, artisans and handicraft stalls, classical arts and theatre.
Meanwhile, officials presented the idea of a Food Festival, and narrowed down to a list of 30 dishes to be promoted. The event will be launched at the Secretariat, inviting the Council of Ministers, Secretaries, Advisors and senior staff. They will also release a booklet, which has been prepared after thorough research of food varieties in the state.The Food Festival will be held in the next month, and is being planned as a large-scale tourist attraction.
