1000 Small Towns in Andhra Pradesh

Large number of people are migrating to big cities in search of employment and basic amenities/facilities such as hospitals and quality schools. On an average 5000 people per day migrate to cities in our state, and a large number of them end up in slums. Due to the absence of basic infrastructure in rural areas, villagers are forced to commute to distant cities for even the smallest problems.

In order to address these problems Lok Satta government will develop 1000 small towns, which will result in integration of rural areas with urban economy. Migration to urban areas will be prevented by creating modern facilities, employment opportunities, and good living conditions in the rural areas.

16. Small Towns will be Developed

A town within a radius of 10 km of every village will be developed by Lok Satta government with all necessary infrastructure at a cost of Rs. 25 crores.
1000 such small towns will be developed across the state. These towns will be identified and developed based on road connectivity, natural resources, human resources and agricultural produce in neighboring villages.
These towns will be endowed with quality educational facilities, health services, clean and safe drinking water supply, drainage, public parks, library, skills training, small industries, and transport facilities, making these small towns economic hubs and magnets for local migration.

17. Urban Amenities in Rural Areas

Lok Satta government guarantees access to quality urban amenities and services to all villages.
All towns will be connected with neighbouring villages by roads and bus facilities.
In the small towns, an E-seva center will act as an inter-face with the government, computer center and skills training centers will be established.
Each small town will have a 30 bed-hospital which will become a hub for '108' services.
All small towns will have agricultural markets and cold storage facilities.
These small towns will become nodal points for agri-clinics in neighboring villages.

GRAMA SWARAJYAM

70 percent of our population lives in villages, and many of these citizens do not have access to basic amenities, such as clean drinking water. Absence of basic infrastructure and minimal delivery of services have made living conditions miserable. To compound this misery, corruption, nepotism, and favoritism are preventing common people from reaping the benefits of various government programmes. Lok Satta government will take concrete steps and measures to create basic amenities and proper living conditions for all.

5. Funds for Villages

Lok Satta government will guarantee funding of Rs 1000 per-capita per year for developmental activities to every Panchayat (this is in addition to existing funding).

RIGHT TO VOTE

The Right to Vote is the foundation of a democracy. The fates of governments and the collective fate of citizens is decided by the voters. However, serious flaws in the voter rolls have a capacity to fundamentally alter the people's mandate. These flaws are facilitating serious voting frauds, such as large scale voter impersonation, and denying legitimate voters the right to vote.

Lok Satta Movement has been fighting ceaselessly for a decade to reform the voter registration process. Now, Lok Satta government will guarantee all the necessary support to the Election Commission of India and the Union Government to ensure error-free voter rolls.

ABOLISHING CASTE

Discrimination by birth is still prevalent in our society and is a powerful source of inequality and internal strife. The current political culture exploits this by dividing our people further for narrow political gains with temporary and short-sighted solutions. Discrimination by birth is uncivilised, undemocratic and violates basic human rights. Lok Satta will start a reform movement to remove discrimination by birth and to build a unified society
