AP to hold Quantum Valley workshop on June 30
At a curtain-raiser event here on Wednesday, IT secretary Katamneni Bhaskar said that Quantum Valley will leverage quantum computing to address complex issues at unprecedented speeds compared to conventional computers. The facility will benefit sectors such as higher education, healthcare, pharmaceuticals, agriculture, and more, while fostering research and job creation. It will align with the National Quantum Mission's guidelines.
Secretary to the Chief Minister P S Pradyumna, said quantum computing will revolutionise data accuracy across industries. He noted Andhra Pradesh's potential to lead in quantum computing, with the upcoming workshop set to release the 'Amaravati Declaration.'
Prof Anil Prabhakar, a quantum computing expert and member of the National Quantum Mission, explained that quantum computing differs significantly from classical computing. Major IT firms are already investing in it for applications like pharmaceutical research, EV batteries, logistics, route optimisation, image classification, stock market analysis, and cybersecurity. He stated that Quantum Valley in Amaravati will support research institutes, IT companies, and startups.
Amit Sighee, director of IBM's Research Wing, revealed that India ranks second globally in quantum computing adoption. IBM, collaborating with the Andhra Pradesh government, aims to develop its Starling quantum computing system by 2029.
Vijayarao, LTI Mindtree Lead, underscored quantum computing's transformative potential in banking, finance, logistics, supply chain, manufacturing, healthcare, risk analysis, and cryptography. LTI Mindtree, IBM, and TCS are partnering with the Andhra Pradesh government to develop Quantum Valley in Amaravati.

Naidu envisions major development plan for Kuppam
Kuppam (Chittoor district): ChiefMinister N Chandrababu Naidu on Wednesday unveiled a broad development plan for Kuppam, promising sweeping changes across healthcare, infrastructure, livelihoods, and governance. Speaking at a public meeting, he said Kuppam would soon stand as a model constituency for the entire state. Naidu announced that 10,393 'golden families' in Kuppam have been identified under the State's P4 (Public-Private-People Partnership) programme. Each family will be linked with a mentor to support their progress. He also said that grievances and issues in the constituency would be addressed through the newly launched 'Jananayakudu' portal. On the healthcare front, Naidu shared that digital health records are being developed for Kuppam residents, with support from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and Tata Trusts. 'This pilot project is aimed at improving people's health and will later be expanded across the district and state,' he said. In a first-of-its-kind initiative, 130 electric autos are now collecting wet and dry waste across Kuppam. Naidu said the constituency has become the first in the state to adopt such a model of sustainable waste management. Infrastructure development was another key highlight. Naidu announced plans to upgrade Kuppam railway station and improve connectivity to Chennai and Bengaluru. He also promised a four-lane road between Palamaner and Krishnagiri, and a parallel route from Kuppam to Hosur. 'Kuppam is fast emerging as a central hub connecting key cities. A spectacular transformation is coming,' he said. The Chief Minister also announced the distribution of 3,775 additional pensions in Kuppam, reiterating the government's commitment to cover all eligible beneficiaries. He stressed the need to promote entrepreneurship through the 'One Family, One Entrepreneur' scheme. He criticised the previous government over irregularities in land dealings, vowing to put an end to encroachments and disputes. For cultural revival and spiritual development, Naidu announced the sanction of Rs 50 crore for the renovation and development of temples across Kuppam. 'We have already built Gokulam sheds and distributed cows to every household. These cows are now becoming a source of steady income. In the near future, Kuppam will produce 10 lakh litres of milk,' he said. Plans are also underway to develop Kuppam as a tourist destination and a horticulture hub, creating job opportunities for local youth. 'With all these efforts, Kuppam will lead the way in development,' Naidu declared. He released a mega cheque of Rs.14.59 cr towards annual NTR Bharosa pension amount for 3041 new beneficiaries.

Welfare, development two eyes for me: Naidu
Kuppam (Chittoor dist): Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu on Wednesday termed development and welfare as two eyes for him, saying he would continue both in equal measure. Speaking at a public meeting during his two-day visit to Kuppam, his longtime Assembly constituency in Chittoor district, on Wednesday, the CM spoke about his government's balanced approach to welfare and development. 'Development and welfare are two eyes for me. Revenue must be used for the benefit of the poor, but without neglecting development which will in turn enhance the state's revenues,' he said. Naidu strongly criticised the previous administration for what he described as severe financial mismanagement, claiming it had left the state burdened with Rs 10 lakh crore in debt and had misused central funds, disrupting important welfare schemes. He stated that his government was working to lead Andhra Pradesh from a state of ruin toward meaningful development. 'We are guiding the state, which was driven into ruin, towards development. I have come to you as part of the first step in good governance,' he added. The Chief Minister reaffirmed his commitment to transform Kuppam into a model constituency for the entire nation. He outlined key projects and developmental initiatives underway in the area. He pointed out at the completion of the Handri-Neeva Sujala Sravanthi project, which was undertaken at a cost of Rs.3,890 crore, and assured the gathering that water would reach the last ayacut in Kuppam by the end of the year. The Chief Minister further said: 'In Kuppam alone, we are carrying out works worth Rs.1,292 crore, and projects worth Rs.125 crore have already been completed'. He also noted that ensuring pothole-free roads across the state remains a top priority. Naidu added that under the 'Swarna Kuppam' project, infrastructure in the constituency is being upgraded with the construction of concrete and bitumen roads. He highlighted efforts to boost local industry and market connectivity through the promotion of 'Brand Kuppam' and said that plans for a new airport, with Rs.850 crore allocated, were underway. Assuring the public that land acquisition would be fair and transparent, he promised generous compensation packages for those who part with their land. Pushing forward his green energy agenda, Naidu said rooftop solar panels would be installed on every house in Kuppam under the PM Suryaghar Yojana. 'I will stand by you until every household has solar power, which would drastically reduce electricity costs and improve energy independence', he said. Naidu urged the people to support leaders who truly stand by them, not those who engage in political violence. 'I don't believe in the politics of murder or death. I believe in politics of public good,' he said, defending himself against what he claimed were baseless allegations and politically motivated attacks. On this occasion, Naidu launched various development projects while four MoUs with Aditya Birla Group, eRoyce motors, ACE International Limited and SVF Soya Pvt Ltd were signed in his presence. Also, he distributed welfare payments to the beneficiaries. Chittoor MP D Prasada Rao, MLC K Srikanth, Collector Sumit Kumar, KADA Project Director Vikas Marmat were also present.
