He also discussed the work to be taken up in all 16 mandals and 289 gram panchayats in the next financial year with District In-charge Collector Nidhi Meena, Vijayawada East MLA Gadde Ram Mohan Rao and other MLAs.

He asked the officials to raise awareness about skill development programmes and job fairs among the people. He congratulated them on achieving a good success rate in the implementation of the PM Mudra Yojana.
