Chief Minister Naidu at Thursday’s meeting directed the officials to regularly monitor the developments and take measures to ensure that the investments take shape at the earliest possible, particularly those who are investing Rs 10 crore and above.
Stating that there is tough competition, the Chief Minister asked the officials to implement the Speed of Doing Business to get positive results.
He directed the Chief Secretary K. Vijayanand to hold regular review meetings to get permissions at the state level.
The Chief Secretary was also asked to hold review meetings with the district collectors on the progress of the work at ground level.
Chief Minister Naidu said that a state-level convener will be appointed to closely monitor the progress from the grassroots to the state level, to oversee the granting of necessary permissions, and also to deal with the problems at the ground level.
He also wanted the officials to focus on tourism projects to achieve at least 20 per cent progress in this sector.
