Anantapur: AP Assembly Speaker Kodela Siva Prasada Rao has described the youth and students as India’s greatest asset and that their services are needed for nation building. Youth have bright future in the country which has large presence of people below 30 years of age.
Participating in the inauguration of the additional PG block buildings of the 100-year-old Government Arts College here on Thursday, Kodela has said that 60 per cent of the Indian population are below 30 years of age while in the western countries 60 per cent of the population are above 60 years of age.
He said that India is known as a sleeping giant and holds the key for giving economic leadership to the world in the future. He was happy to know that Dr Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, former President of India, had worked as a teacher in the century old college. The former president of India Neelam Sanjeeva Reddy and leading lights of judiciary and government bureaucracy were once the students of the college, he said.
The Speaker said that he is happy to know that the once faction ridden district is now witnessing transformation with Chief Minister bringing Krishna water to water starved Rayalaseema region and also industrialising the region.
The Kia Motors establishment in the district is the beginning of industrialisation of the region. He said that hundreds of industrialists would make a bee line if the district maintained a cordial and peaceful climate which attracts industrialisation. The Krishna water diversion to Rayalaseema region and to the district is helping to irrigate parched lands and also fill age old village tanks and other water bodies.
Earlier, Kodela inaugurated the Janmabhoomi Park and Vintage building called Peace Memorial Hall on the Court Road. He also laid the foundation stone for the eight tourist cottages at the Shilparamam premises to be built at a cost of Rs 73 lakh. He lauded local MLA V Prabhakar Chowdary for his hard work in development of his constituency.
Earlier, MLA Prabhakar took the Speaker around the Shilparamam and the Central Park and hailed the Speaker's role in the development of the state by allowing meaningful debates in the Assembly. Mayor M Swaroopa, Deputy Mayor Gampanna and corporators participated in the function. Then the Speaker left for Bengaluru to catch a flight to Amaravati.
