The employee, Reddappa, a revenue department official working in Edmal mandal in Chittoor district, is going to retire this month and donated his last month salary for Amravati city. He explained to the Chief Minister that he was inspired by the efforts being put in by the Chief Minister and hence decided to donate his last month’s salary for construction of the capital city.

Appreciating the employee’s big heartedness, the Chief Minister said that it would be an inspiration for the others to come forward in building the capital city. The government has been organising the Nava Nirmana Deeksha and Maha Sankalpa Deeksha to create awareness among people on the development and welfare programmes being implemented in the state, said Naidu on the occasion.
