Book excerpt: The development experience of Andhra Pradesh will make a very useful case study in the context of globalization as it launched many initiatives as part of the structural adjustment programme (SAP) through World Bank assistance covering important sectors like power, education, irrigation, and governance. It is probably the only state that had formulated a Vision Document to achieve an overall growth rate of 15 percent by 2020 with a massive investment of 30,000 crores basically to provide people opportunities, both social and economic “to achieve prosperity and wellbeing and enjoy a high quality of life.” An intense scrutiny of these initiatives would be extremely critical for the national economy aside being useful to other States. All this has assumed significance in the context of adopting second generation reforms involving many aspects in the State list. The present volume offers valuable insights about the reform process and experience of Andhra Pradesh.
